Manhattan
Sara Bareilles
[Intro]
A5 Amaj9 F#m7 Esus4 A5 C#m F#m7 Fmaj7
[Verse]
A                 A/G# F#m7
You can have Manhattan
                    A/E
I know it's for the best
     A             Amaj9
I'll gather up the avenues
   F#m11               Fmaj3+11  Dmaj7+11
And leave them on your doorstep
                 C#m7
And I'll tip toe away
Bm11                    Bm11/A A5
So you won't have to say
             C#m
You heard me leave
F#m11 Fmaj7
[Verse]
A            Amaj9/G#
You can have Manhattan
F#m11                   E6
I know it's what you want
    A              Amaj9/G#  F#m11
The bustle and the buildings
                   Fmaj7  Dmaj7+11
The weather in the fall
                    A2/C#
And I'll bow out of place
   Bm11         Asus4  F#m
To save you some space
        Amaj13/E B7/D#
For somebody new
[Chorus]
D6                     Dm
You can have Manhattan
                 A5
'Cause I can't have you
C#m F#m7 Fmaj13 Aadd2
C#m7 E/F# Fmaj7+11
Ah - hh
[Verse]
A               A/G#
You can have Manhattan
    F#m11            Esus4
The one we used to share
    A                     A/G#
The one where we were laughing
    F#m11             Fmaj7+11 A/D
And drunk on just being there
               C#m7
Hang on to the reverie
Bm11              Bm11/A
Could you do that for me
       F#m        F#m/E B7/D# B/D#
'Cause I'm just too sad to
[Chorus]
D6                     Dm
You can have Manhattan
                 A5
'Cause I can't have you
A2/G# F#m11 Amaj13/E
[Bridge]
D2  D2/C# Bm11 Asus4
And so it goes
    E/G#
One foot after the other
     Dm                Dm9    Em7     A
'Til black and white begin to color in
 E/G# F#m7 A/E
And   I know
     D             Dmaj9             Dm6
That holding us in place is simply fear
                       A
Of what's already changed
Amaj9 F#m7 Aadd2/E A5
Amaj7/G# F#m7 Fmaj7
Ahhh -   hh
[Verse]
A                 Amaj9
You can have Manhattan
     F#m7                Esus4
I'll settle for the beach
    A              C#m7/G#     F#m11
And sunsets facing westward with
       Fmaj7+11      Dsus2
Sand beneath my feet
                Aadd2/C#
I'll wish this away
Aadd2/B             A2
Just missing the days
     F#m       C#/E#    Amaj7/E B7/A
When I was one half of two - oo - oo
[Chorus]
D
You can have Manhattan
       Dm      Am
'Cause I can't have you
[Outro]
A/G# F#m11 Esus4 Aadd2 A2/C# F#m Fmaj7+11 Aadd2
A2/C# F#m11 Fmaj7+11 A Amaj7/G# F#m7 Fmaj7+11
