Intro F Em G
Whooooa-whooooa
Whooooa-whooooa
F Em G
And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island
F Em G
Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once?
F
I knew the dream, it died
Em G
JMZ line, Myrtle and Broadway
F Em G
But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once
C
Whoa-whoa, living life in the city
Em
Whoa-whoa, it will never be pretty
F G
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
C
Whoa-whoa, we can plan if we make it
Em
Whoa-whoa, we won't let 'em
They won't take it from me
F G
No-oh-oh, whoa
Whooooa-whooooa
Whooooa-whooooa
F Em G
And if you leave, don't leave me all alone
F Em G
'Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll be cold
F Em G
And I miss my dad, Cleopatra sitting on the phone
F Em
So take me back off these streets
G
And we'll never be apart
Together from the start
Never, never, falling back alone
C
Whoa-whoa, living life in the city
Em
Whoa-whoa, it will never be pretty
F G
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
C
Whoa-whoa, we can plan if we make it
Em
Whoa-whoa, we won't let 'em
They won't take it from me
F G
No-oh-oh, whoa
C F C
And if the sun don't shine on me today
C F C
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Am F C
Will you just lay down and dig your grave
C F C
Or will you rail against the dying day
