[Verse 1]
I'm brA9eaking my mother's heart
A9The longer I stand looking at you
The F#m7more I hear it splinter and crack
From E/Dninety mD/Eiles aA9way
[Verse 2]
I'm brA9eaking my mother's heart
A9The JCC of Spring Valley is shaking
And cF#m7rumbling to the ground
And my grD7andfather's rollingD/E  
Rolling in his grA9ave
[Chorus]
A2If you had a taF#m7ttoo, that wouldn't matD7ter
If you had a shaved F#m7head, that would be coD7ol
If you came from F#m7Spain or JaA2/Epan
Or the baDmaj7ck of a vanA2/C#  
Just as lonB9g as you're not from HebrD7ew school
I'd say, "NoF#m7w I'm getting someD7where
I'F#m7m finally breakiC7#11ng through!"
I'd say, "Bm7Hey! A2/C#Hey! ShiDksa goD#m7-5ddess!
I've been wD/Eaiting for someone likA9e you"
[Verse 3]
I've been waiting through DA7anica Schwartz and Erica Weiss
A7And the Handelman twins
I've been waiting through F#m7Heather Greenblatt, Annie Mincus, Karen Pincus and Lisa Katz
And SD7tacy Rosen, Ellen Kaplan, Julie Silber and Janie Stein
I've had Bm7Shabbas dinners on Friday nights
With F7#11every Shapiro in Washington Heights
But the mA/Einute I first mA+/Fet you
I could F#minbarely catch my breaA+/Fth
I've been sA/Etanding for days with the B7#11/D#phone in my hand
Like an Dmaj7idiot, scared to deaF7b5th
I've been waA/Endering through the dA+/D#esert
I've been Dmaj7beaten, I've been hiA/C#t
My Bm7people have sA2uffered for Gmaj9thousands of F#m11years
And Fmaj7b5I don't give a Bm7/Eshit!
[Chorus]
If you had a pierced F#m7tongue, that wouldn't matD7ter
If you once were in jF#m7ail or you once were a maD7n,
If your F#m7mother and your A2/Ebrother had "reA/Dlations" with each A2/C#other
And your fB9ather was connected to the GD7otti clan
I'd say, "F#m7Well, nobody's pD7erfect"
It's F#m7tragic but itC7#11's true
I'd say, Bm7"Hey! A2/C#Hey! ShiDksa godD#m7-5dess!
I've been wD/Eaiting for someone like..."
[Break]
Cmaj7/FYou, breaking the Cmaj7circle
Cmaj7/FYou, taking the Cmaj7light
Bbmaj7You, you are the Fmaj9story
I should wD/Erite
I have to C7b5write!
[Chorus]
C7#11If you drove an F#m7R.V., that wouldn't matD7ter
If you like to drink F#m7blood, I think it's cuD7te
If you've got a F#minpowerful cF#m/Eonnection to your Dmaj7firearm coF#m/C#llection
I'd say, DB9raw a bead and shootD7  
I'm your Hebrew slF#m7ave, at your serD7vice
Just F#m7tell me what tC7#11o do
I say, Bm7"Hey A/C#hey hDey heA/Ey!
I've been wG2aiting for someone
I've been pG2/F#raying for someone
I think that D/EI could be in love with somD/Eeone
LikF#m9e You"
