[verse 1]
       Cm                              Gm
You've sentenced me to twenty years of boredom,
    Cm                                   Gm
for trying to change the system from within.
    Cm                          Gm
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them.
F                Cm     Dsus4, D                    Gm
First we take Manhattan,        and then we take Berlin.
[Verse 2]
    Cm                        Gm
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens,
    Cm                            Gm
I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin.
    Cm                          Gm
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons,
F                Cm     Dsus4, D                    Gm
First we take Manhattan,        and then we take Berlin.

I'd really like to live beside you baby,
F           Bb                         Gm
I love your body, your spirit and your clothes,
        Cm                                      Gm
but you see that line that's moving through the station,
  F           C           Dsus4   D             Gm
I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those.
