[Verse 1]

Dm Am

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

Dm Am

For trying to change the system from within

Dm Am

I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

[Verse 2]

Dm Am

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

Dm Am

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

Dm Am

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

[Chorus]

C G F

I'd really like to live beside you, baby

C Am

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

C Am

But you see that line there moving through the station

G F E Am

I told you I told you, told you I was one of those

[Verse 3]

Dm Am

You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win

Dm Am

You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline

Dm Am

How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

[Bridge]
