Take Manhattan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Wel[G]l s[C]he started
out working
[F]for an Illinois assembly [G]line
Not really what she wanted
Just [C]dealing with the feeling [F]when you're
feeling like you wish it was [G]fine
You just don't talk about [Am]it
And along came an [C]offer
[G]fro[C]m the city of ste[G]el
They [F]were stranded at the airport she
could [G]barely believe he [Am]was real
So she [C]said
Make it [F]happen take

[Verse 2]
me to Manhattan
[G]If you like LA that's cool
[C]Or you could slip me right on
[F]down the Mississippi
[Am]I'd go anywhere with you
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
Well, they met up on the river [F]in
the middle of the summertime
[G]He was from out on the coast
And [C]ever since he said he'd [F]never
stop until they got it [G]right
It's what they wanted [Am]the most
He had been [C]everywhere
[G]and[C] she'd been alo[G]ne
[F]They were just looking for[G]
a place to [Am]call home

[Verse 4]
[Am]
So he [C]said
How about [F]Manhattan we
can make it happen
[G]I'll do California too
[C]I know it's iff[F]y but how about
the Mississippi
[Am]I'd go anywhere with you
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
Any old town will [C]do
I could [Dm]die in the flyover zone
with you
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
Then [C]they started their first argument
[F]And the fighting never sto[G]pped
It's just the same old story
[C]All the boys and girls who [F]never
figure one another [G]out
Then all the tears started
[Am]pour[G]ing
Then [F]the map came off the wall
She [G]started marking it with a [Am]red pen

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Then she [C]said
Well, take Manhat[F]tan where
anything can happen
[G]You take California too
[C]Forever aft[F]er with or
without laughter
[Am]We got better things to do[G]
[C]Take Man[F]hattan where
anything can happen
You [G]take California [C]too
Take the [F]planet you can fucking have it
[Am]Look out cause she's coming for you

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
