 Intro: Bm

         Em                        
 They sentenced me to twenty years 
     Bm
of boredom
       Em                       
 For trying to change the system 
       Bm
from within
      Em                     Bm
 Im coming now Im coming to reward 
them
   A            G         F#7    
 First we take Manhattan then we 
       Bm
take Ber-lin


     Em                      
 Im guided by a signal in the 
  Bm
heavens
     Em                            
 Im guided by this birthmark on my 
Bm
skin
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
     Em                        
 Im guided by the beauty of our 
   Bm
weapons
   A            G         F#7    
 First we take Manhattan then we 
       Bm
take Berlin


      D                            
 Id really like to live beside you 
A
baby
              G                  
 I love your body and your spirit 
            Bm
and your clothes
          Em                       
 But you see that line there moving
              Bm
 through the station?
    A          G        F#7
 I told you I told you told you
               Bm
 I was one of those



 Ah you loved me as a loser
 but now youre worried that I just 
might win
 You know the way to stop me
 but you dont have the discipline
 How many nights I prayed for this
 to let my work begin

 First we take Manhattan then we 
take Berlin
 I dont like your fashion business 
mister
 And I dont like these drugs that 
keep you thin
 I dont like what happened to my 
sister
 First we take Manhattan then we 
take Berlin

 Id really like to live beside you 
baby
 I love your body and your spirit 
and your clothes
 But you see that line there moving 
through the station?
 I told you I told you told you
 I was one of those

 And I thank you for those items 
that you sent me
 The monkey and the plywood violin
 I practiced every night now Im 
ready
 First we take Manhattan then we 
take Berlin

 I am guided
 Ah remember me I used to live for 
music
 Remember me I brought your 
groceries in
 Well its fathers day and everybodys
 wounded
 First we take Manhattan then we 
take Berlin
