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