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
