[F]

[C]
[G]
[C]
If I could open my [G] arms
[D]
And span the length of [C] the Isle of Manhattan
I'd bring it to where you [G] are
[D]
Making a lake of [C] the East River and Hudson
If I could open [G] my mouth
Wide enough for [F] a marching band to [C] march out
They would make your [G] name sing
And bend through alleys [C] and bounce off all the [F] buildings
I [C]
[G] [F]
[C]
[G] [C]
wish we could open [G] our eyes
To see in all [C] directions at the same time
Oh, what a beautiful [G] view
If you were never aware [C] of what was around you
And it is true what you [G] say
That
[D] I live like a [C] hermit in my own hell
But when the sun shines [G] again
I'll [D] pull the curtains and [F] blinds to let the light in
Sorrow drips into your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet that [G] leaks and there is comfort [F] in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half [C] full
It slowly [E] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
Sorrow drips into your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet that [G] leaks and there is comfort [F] in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half [C] full
It slowly [G] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
Sorrow drips into [Am] your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet that [G] leaks and there is comfort [F] in the sound
But while you [Am] debate half [F] empty or half [C]
full
It slowly [G] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
Sorrow drips into [Am] your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet that [G] leaks and there is comfort [F] in the sound
But while you [Am] debate half empty or [C] half full
It slowly [D] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
[Am] Your [Dm] [C]
[G] love is [F] gonna drown
[Am] Your [B] [C]
[G] love is [F] gonna drown
[Am] Your [B] [C]
[E] love is [F] gonna drown
[Am] Your [B] [G] [C]
[D] [C] love is [F] gonna drown
[Am] Your [B] [C]
[G] love [F] is gonna
