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