[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 the [C] East River and Hudson
If I could open my [G] mouth wide enough for a [F] marching band to [C] march out
They would make your name [G] sing
And bend through alleys and [C] 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 [Em] view
[G]
If you were never [C] aware of what was around you
And it is true what you [G] said
That [D] I live like [G] a [C] hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines [G] again
I'll pull the curtains and [F] blinds to let the light in
And sorrow drips into your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet that [G] leaks and there is comfort in [F] the sound
But while you debate half empty and half [C] full
It slowly [G] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
And sorrow drips into your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet [G] that leaks and there is comfort in [F] the sound
But while you debate half empty and [C] half full
It slowly [G] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
And sorrow drips into your [Am] heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet [G] that leaks and there is comfort in [F] the sound
But while you debate half empty and half [C] full
It slowly [G] rises, your love is [F] gonna drown
And sorrow drips into [Am] your heart through a [C] pinhole
Just like the faucet that leaks [G] and there is comfort [F] in the sound
But while you debate half [Dm] empty [C] and half full
It slowly [D] rises, [G] your love is [Am] gonna drown
Your [B] [C]
[G] love is gonna [F] drown
[Am] Your [B] [G]
[C] [G] love [F] is gonna drown
[Am] Your [F] [C]
[E] love [F] is gonna drown
[Am] Your [F] [G]
[C] [D] [C] love is gonna [F] drown
