[Verse 1]
Dm Am
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
Dm Am
For trying to change the system from within
Dm Am
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
Dm Am
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
Dm Am
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Chorus]
C G
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
F G C Am
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
Dm Am
But you see that line there moving through the station
G F E Am
I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
Dm Am
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
Dm Am
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Verse 4]
Dm Am
I don't like your fashion business, mister
Dm Am
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
Dm Am
I don't like what happened to your sister
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Chorus]
C G
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
F G C Am
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
Dm Am
But you see that line there moving through the station
G F E Am
I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
[Verse 5]
Dm Am
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
Dm Am
The monkey end the plywood violin
Dm Am
I practiced every night now I'm ready
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Verse 6]
Dm Am
Remember me, I used to live for music
Dm Am
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Dm Am
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Outro]
A G Am
(Repeat and fade out)
