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.
