Manhattan Chords

   
I wasn't able to find solid chords to this song, so I created a slightly simplified 
version for anyone to pick up and cover. If you use these chords I would love to see your work!

A                Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                Esus4
I know its for the best
A                  Amaj7
Ill gather up the avenues
F#m                          Esus4
And leave them on your doorstep
Dmaj7        C#m7
And Ill tip toe away

You heard me leave

I know it’s what you want
A                           Amaj7
The bustle and the buildings
F#m                  E
The weather in the fall
Dmaj7        C#m7
And I’ll bow out of place
Esus4                 E
To save you some space

For somebody new

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   Esus4
The one we used to share
A                           Amaj7
The one where we were laughing
F#m                  E
And drunk on just being there
Dmaj7        C#m7
Hang on to the reverie
Esus4                 E
Could you do that for me?
F#m           [ch]F#m/E[/ch]     B
Cause I’m just too sad to

A   Amaj7   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   Amaj7    F#m   E
And I know
D       C#m7
That holding us in place
Fmaj7
Is simply fear of what’s already changed

-- (interlude)

A   Amaj7   F#m   E
A   Amaj7 F#m   E

-- (verse)

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   Esus4
I’ll settle for the beach
A                           Amaj7
And sunsets facing westward
F#m                  Fmaj7
With sand beneath my feet
Dmaj7        C#m7
I’ll wish this away
Esus4                 E
Just missing the days
F#m           [ch]F#m/E[/ch]     B
When I was one half of two

-- (chorus)

You can have Manhattan
