Manhattan beats at the night
  Am              F
But you are wrapped up in wire
        C     Fm  C
Curled up in fright
   C           Fm         C
So I took you to the city for the night

To dance under dizzy silver lights

But for a moment, you were wild

And now it's you who's floored by fear of it all

And no one is trying to listen in

Hear our whispered shouts, they don't care
