First We Take Manhattan

        Dm                         
They sentenced me to twenty years 
    Am
of boredom
       Dm                          
For trying to change the system 
    Am
from within
       Dm                       Am
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward 
  them
  G                  F  E        
First we take Manhattan, then we 
         Am
take Berlin

       Dm                    
I'm guided by a signal in the 
    Am
heavens
       Dm                         
I'm guided by this birthmark on my 
Am
skin
       Dm                      
I'm guided by the beauty of our 
   Am
weapons
  G                  F  E        
First we take Manhattan, then we 
         Am
take Berlin

    C                              
I'd really like to live beside you,
  G    F
 baby
              C                    
I love your body and your spirit 
         Am
and your clothes

         C                         
But you see that line there moving 
              Am
through the station
    G          F          E      
I told you I told you I told you 
                Am
I was one of those

       Dm                          
You loved me as a loser but now 
    Am
your worried that I just might win
     Dm                            
You know the way to stop me but you
 Am
 don't have the discipline
     Dm                            
How many nights I prayed for this: 
    Am
to let my work begin
  G                  F  E        
First we take Manhattan, then we 
         Am
take Berlin

Dm                                
I don't like your fashion 
   Am
business, mister
Dm                                
I don't like these drugs that keep
      Am
 you thin
Dm                                
I don't like what happened to your
  Am
 sister
  G                  F  E        
First we take Manhattan, then we 
         Am
take Berlin  (chorus)

       Dm                          
And I thank you for those items 
      Am
that you sent me
    Dm                         Am
The monkey and the plywood violin
    Dm                             
I practiced every night and now I'm
  Am
 ready
  G                  F  E        
First we take Manhattan, then we 
         Am
take Berlin

   Dm                          
Remember me, I used to live for 
  Am
music
   Dm                      
Remember me, I brought your 
            Am
groceries in
       Dm                        
It's Father's Day and everybody's 
  Am
wounded
  G                  F  E        
First we take Manhattan, then we 
         Am
take Berlin
