I know it’s what you want
A augmentedA              Amaj7Amaj7
The bustle and the buildings
F# minorF#m         E MajorE
The weather in the fall
Dmaj7Dmaj7    C#m7C#m7
And I’ll bow out of place

You can have Manhattan

The one we used to share
A augmentedA              Amaj7Amaj7
The one where we were laughing
F# minorF#m         E MajorE
And drunk on just being there
Dmaj7Dmaj7    C#m7C#m7
Hang on to the reverie

And so it goes
E MajorE
One foot after the other
   DmDm
Til black and white begin to color in
A augmentedA  Amaj7Amaj7  F# minorF#m  E MajorE
And I know
D MajorD    C#m7C#m7
That holding us in place
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Is simply fear of what’s already changed

A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F# minorF#m          Esus4Esus4
I’ll settle for the beach
A augmentedA              Amaj7Amaj7
And sunsets facing westward
F# minorF#m         Fmaj7Fmaj7
With sand beneath my feet
Dmaj7Dmaj7    C#m7C#m7
I’ll wish this away
Esus4Esus4         E MajorE
Just missing the days
F# minorF#m      F#m/E   BB
When I was one half of two
