 A#m Fm
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
 A#m Fm
For trying to change the system from within
 A#m Fm
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
 D# C# C7 Fm
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

 G# G#sus4 G# D# C#
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
 D# G# G#sus4 G# Fm Fsus4 Fm
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
 G# G#sus4 G# Fm Fsus4 Fm
But you see that line there moving through the station?
 D# C# C7 Fm
I told you, I told you, I told you, I was one of those

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
Im coming now, Im coming to reward them
First we take manhattan, then we take berlin

Im guided by a signal in the heavens
Im guided by this birthmark on my skin
Im guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take manhattan, then we take berlin

Id really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now youre worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you dont have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take manhattan, then we take berlin

I dont like your fashion business mister
And I dont like these drugs that keep you thin
I dont like what happened to my sister
First we take manhattan, then we take berlin

Id really like to live beside you, baby ...

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now Im ready
First we take manhattan, then we take berlin

I am guided

Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well its fathers day and everybodys wounded
First we take manhattan, then we take berlin

Leonard Cohen
