F    Em  G
Woo, woo
F   Em   G
Woo, woo


[Verse 1]
            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              Em         G
I knew the dream, it died, JMZ line, Myrtle, and Broadway
           F             Em          G
But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once


[Chorus]
      C
Woah-woah, living life in the city
      Em                              F   G
Woah-woah, it will never be pretty, oh, oh
      C
Woah-woah, we can plan if we make it
      Em
Woah-woah, we won't let 'em
                            F            G            F
They won't take it from me, no, oh, oh, woah (2, 3, 4)


[Post-Chorus]
 Em    G   F
Woo, woo
  Em    G
Woo, woo


[Verse 2]
           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 get cold
               F         Em                  G
And I miss my dad and Cleopatra sitting on a phone
           F             Em                   G        G7
So take me back off these streets and we'll never be apart
G                  G7
Together from the start
G
Never, never falling back alone


[Chorus]
    C
Oh-oh, Living life in the city
    Em                           F   G
Oh-oh, it will never be pretty, oh, oh
   C
Oh-oh, we can plan if we make it
       Em
Woah-woah, we won't let 'em
                            F            G
They won't take it from me, no, oh, oh, woah


[Bridge]
           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 your dying day?


[Outro]
          C           F    C
Da-da-da-da, da, da, da-ah-da
          C     F       C
Da-da-da-da-ah, da, da, da
          C           F    C
Da-da-da-da, da, da, da-ah-da
          C     F       C
Da-da-da-da-ah, da, da, da
