Verse 1
G
Think there's a line that I crossed
Am
somewhere over the border
C
'Cause I broke every rule you had
G
written in your little book
Singing Neil Young songs to the ones who,
Am
like lambs to the slaughter,
C
Are combing their hair and selling
G
stories about drugs they took
Verse 2
G
And Renee she thinks that all of her
Am
prayers have been answered
C
And she stands under the lights to
G
make those six wires sing
But the truth is those strings are just pulled
Am
by a room full of chancers
C
And there's nothing original,
not even original sin
G

Verse 3
Em
C
And I want to run, run, run fast as I can
Am
Let those grey gloves wrap their
G
fingers around my heart
Em
Yeah, I want to run, run,
C
run so far from here
Am
'Til the streets of Manhattan
C
just tear this waster apart
G
No, I don't wanna talk
Am
I wanna dance in New York
G
I wanna dance in New York
Verse 4
G
Well, I heard a breeze blow like a ghost
Am
riding out 'cross the ocean
C
And the smell of the midsummer sun
G
dripping down through the blue
It's so easy to drift through these
Am
things with your eyes half open
C
Looking out for the prize,
G
lining up all the things left to prove
Verse 5
G
And who would have thought that a year
Am
on I'd be where I'm standing
C
Half singing a song to a person
Em
G
I've only half met
I have fought like a wildcat for
Am
space and understanding
C
And, boy, let me tell you I'm
not done fighting yet
G
Verse 6
Em
'Cause I want to run, run,
C
run fast as I can
Am
Let those grey gloves wrap their

fingers around my heart

Yeah, I want to run, run,

run so far from here

'Til the streets of Manhattan
C
just tear this waster apart

Verse 7
G
So sing to me all of you children
Am
of one minute wonder
C
G
Sing it out like you've always wanted to do
I will dance in the street no matter
Am
whose sky I'm under
C
You sing it out and I'll sing
it straight back to you
G
