      A#m                             Fm
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
      A#m                                Fm
For trying to change the system from within
     A#m                         Fm
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
 D#               C#    C7                Fm
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

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

     G#             G#sus4 G#        D#   C#
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
   D#        G#             G#sus4 G#       Fm   Fsus4   Fm
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
         G#                  G#sus4   G#         Fm    Fsus4   Fm
But you see that line there moving through the station?
   D#          C#          C7                      Fm
I told you, I told you, I told you, I was one of those

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

I don't like your fashion business, mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd 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, I 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 and now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
