[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ They [Bb] sentenced me to 20 years of [Fm] boredom for _ _ [Bbm] _
trying to change the system from where [F] I am. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] I'm coming now, I'm [Bbm] coming to [Fm] _ reward them.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] I'm guided by a signal in [Fm] the heavens.
_ _ _ _ I'm [Bbm] guided by this earthlock on my [Fm] skin. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] I'm guided by the beauty of [Fm] our wetlands. _ _ _ _ _

I'm [Ab] willing not to live inside [Eb] you, babe.
_ [Db] _ [Eb] I love your [Ab] body, _ your spirit and [Fm] your love.
_ _ _ [Ab] But you see that night that we'll be [Fm] through the sky. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I told you, I [Db] told you, _
[Fm] _ don't [C] you?
I was born [F] a _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Fm] liar.
Now [Bbm] you love me as a loser.
_ But now [Fm] you're worried that I just might win.
_ You know [Bbm] the way to stop me.
_ _ But [Fm] you don't have the discipline.
_ [Bbm] How many nights I prayed for this [Fm] to let my work [C] begin. _ _

[C] _ _ _ Then we take [Fm] Berlin.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] I don't like your fashion [Fm] business, mister.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm]
And I don't like these drugs that keep you [Fm] thin.
_ _ I _ _ _
[Bb] _ don't like what happened to my [Fm] sister. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ We take [G] Manhattan. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ Then we take [Fm] Berlin. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] I'm [Ab] willing not [Db] to [Ab] live inside [Eb] you, babe.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Eb] I love [Ab] your body, _ your spirit and [Fm] your love.
_ _ [G] _ [Fm] _ [Eb] But [Ab] you see that night that we'll be through [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] the sky.
I told you, [Db] I told you, _ _
_ [Fm] don't you?
[C] I was born [Fm] a _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ liar.
Now [Bb] thank you [Bbm] for those items that [Fm] you sent me.
_ _ _ The [Gm] monkey _ and the [Bbm] plywood _ violin.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] I've practiced everything.
[Bbm] _ _ Now I'm [Fm] ready. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] First, _ we take [Db] Manhattan. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ Then we take [Fm] Berlin.
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Now [Bb] remember me.
_ I used to [Fm] live for music. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] Remember me.
_ I brought your groceries [Fm] in.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] Well, it's Father's Day.
_ And _ [Fm] everybody's wounded.
