[G] And if [F] the city sky [Em] scrapers [G] rise over this island, would you [F] be glad to see [Em] Manhattan for [G] once?
I knew [F] the dream had [Em] died, JMZ [G] line, Myrtle and Broadway, but [F] I'd be glad to see [Em] Manhattan for [G] once.
Whoa, [C] whoa, living life in the city, whoa, [Em] whoa, it will never be pretty.
[F]
[G] Whoa, [C] whoa, we can plan if we make it, whoa, [Em] whoa, we won't let, they won't take it from
[F] me, no, whoa.
Oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh.
Woo,
[F] [Em] woo, [G]
[F] woo, [E] woo, woo, woo, woo, [G] woo, woo.
And if [F] you leave, don't [Em] leave me all [G] alone.
Because I'll [F] be scared.
I'll [Em] be naked.
I'll be [G] cold.
And I'll miss [F] my dad and me [Em] and Patrick [G] sitting on the phone.
So take [F] me back up [Em] these streets and [G] we'll never be apart
Together from the start
Never, never falling back alone
[C] Living life in the city
[Em] It will never be pretty
Oh, [F] oh,
[G] oh, oh, [C] oh, oh, oh, oh
We can plan if we make it
Oh, [Em] oh, we won't let them
They won't take it from [F] me
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh
And if [C] the sun don't shine [F] on [C] me today
And if the subways [F] flood and [C] bridges break
Will you [Am] just lay [F] down and [C] dig your grave
Or will you rail against [F] your [C] dying day
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, [F] na, [C] na, na
Na, na, [Am] na, na, na, na, [C] na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, [F] na, na, na
