[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
