Marching Bands Of Manhattan

Tom: C

C9                    G
  If I could open my arms,
D4                            F
  And span the length of the isle of Manhattan, 
C9                           G
  I'd bring it to where you are, 
D4                      F
  Making a lake of the East River and Hudson. 
C9                     G
  If I could open my mouth, 
D4                    F
  Wide enough for a marching band to march out,
C9                          G
  They would make your name sing, 
D4                             F
  And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings. 


F7+     F7+     C   D9
F7+     F7+     C   D9


    C9                      G
  I wish we could open our eyes, 
D4                 F
  To see in all directions at the same time. 
C9                     G
  Oh what a beautiful view, 
D4                    F
  If you were never aware of what was around you. 
C9                         G
  And it is true what you said, 
D4                     F
  That I live like a hermit in my own head. 
C9                          G
  But when the sun shines again, 
D4                            F
  I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in. 



F7+  
  Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole. 
C                          D9
  Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound. 
F7+  
  But while you debate half empty or half full, 
C                          D9
  It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown.
