-- (verse 1)
A A7+
You can have Manhattan
F#m E4
I know its for the best
A A7+
Ill gather up the avenues
F#m E4
And leave them on your doorstep
D7+ C#m7
And Ill tip toe away
E4 E
So you wont have to say
A A7+ F#m F7+
You heard me leave
-- (verse 2)
A A7+
You can have Manhattan
F#m E4
I know it's what you want
A A7+
The bustle and the buildings
F#m E
The weather in the fall
D7+ C#m7
And I?ll bow out of place
E4 E
To save you some space
F#m F#m/E B
For somebody new
-- (Chorus)

You can have Manhattan

Cause I can't have you

-- (verse 3)
A A7+
You can have Manhattan
F#m E4
The one we used to share
A A7+
The one where we were laughing
F#m E
And drunk on just being there
D7+ C#m7
Hang on to the reverie
E4 E
Could you do that for me?

Cause I'm just too sad to
-- (Chorus)

You can have Manhattan

A A7+ F#m E
D C#m7 D/B A
And so it goes
E
One foot after the other
Dm
Til black and white begin to color in
A A7+ F#m E
And I know
D C#m7
That holding us in place
F7+
Is simply fear of what?s already changed

A A7+ F#m E
-- (Verse)
A A7+
You can have Manhattan
F#m E4
I?ll settle for the beach
A A7+
And sunsets facing westward
F#m F7+
With sand beneath my feet
D7+ C#m7
I?ll wish this away
E4 E
Just missing the days
F#m F#m/E B
When I was one half of two
-- (Chorus)
D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can't have you
-- (outro)
