Manhattan

Intro: Em, G, D, Am         Em

Verse:
                G                          D
In the city, she wakes, before the break of day,
                 Am                   Em
Cold water on her face, so lonely
                     G                            D
Between the glass and knife, she'd like to start a fire,
                    Am                         C
She'd burn the city down, she'd burn it all for love


Chorus:
                G                      D
Can you see the people, staring at the steeples
                      Am         C
Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?
                   G                    D
Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,
                   Am         C
Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?


Em, G, D, Am          Em

Verse:
                 G                           D
In the city, she wakes, the smoke is cleared away,
                 Am                          Em
The fire's just a flame, still breathing,
               G              D
She made a big debut on Fifth Avenue,
                       Am                            C
Then the village voice review took the fire from her eyes


Chorus:
               G                      D
Can you see the people, staring at the steeples
                      Am         C
Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?
                   G                    D
Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,
                   Am         C
Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?


Em, G, D, Am          Am


                   C                          G
We're walking right beside the ones we used to fight,
                  Em            D             Am
The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white,
                    C                       G
We see for the first time, when we stop the fight,
                  Em            D             C
The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white


Chorus:
               G                      D
Can you see the people, staring at the steeples
                      Am         C
Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?
                   G                    D
Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,
                   Am         C
Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?


G, D, Am, C
