Manhattan (Live)

[Verse 1]

You can have Manhattan

I know it’s for the best

I’ll gather up the avenues

And leave them on your doorstep

I’ll tip toe away

So you won’t have to say

You heard me leave

[Verse 2]

You can have Manhattan

I know it’s what you want

The bustle and the buildings

The weather in the fall

And I’ll bow out of place

To save you some space

For somebody new

[Chorus]

You can have Manhattan

'Cause I can’t have you

O-o-oh

[Verse 3]

You can have Manhattan

The one we used to share

The one where we were laughing

And drunk on just being there

Hang onto the reverie

Could you do that for me?

'Cause I’m just too sad to

[Chorus]

You can have Manhattan

'Cause I can't have you

[Bridge]

And so it goes

One foot after the other

'Til black and white begin to color in

And I know

That holding us in place

Is simply fear of what’s already changed

[Verse 4]

You can have Manhattan

I’ll settle for the beach

And sunsets facing westward

With sand beneath my feet

I’ll wish this away

This missing the days

When I was one half of two

[Chorus]

You can have Manhattan

'Cause I can’t have you

O-o-oh

O-o-oh

Mm-mm-mm
