And if the city skyscrapers rise over this island

Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once
          F            Em7           G*

Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll be cold
               F                  Em7
You don't want that, there's your need
            G*
But you'll never gonna know
           F        Em7
So take me back of these streets
             G*
That you'll never be apart

Falling back on love
