NOTES: C* can be played as C. It sounds better if played with C*.

G can be played normally (320003). This is just how I play it.

If Fmaj7 sounds weird at first, but try playing it with the CD.

C* G

If I could open my arms,

Dsus F

And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,

C* G

I'd bring it to where you are,

Dsus F

Making a lake of the East River and Hudson.

C* G

If I could open my mouth,

Dsus F

Wide enough for a marching band to march out,

C* G

They would make your name sing,

Dsus F

And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings.

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C D2

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C D2

C* G

I wish we could open our eyes,

Dsus F

To see in all directions at the same time.

C* G

Oh what a beautiful view,

Dsus F

If you were never aware of what was around you.

C* G

And it is true what you said,

Dsus F

That I live like a hermit in my own head.

C* G

But when the sun shines again,

Dsus F

I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.

Fmaj7

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole.

C D2

Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound.

Fmaj7

But while you debate half empty or half full,

C D2

It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown.
