Intro: Four Measures of Telephone Rings and Backwards Message
1.
|: Em Am Em - Am D Am -
I'll sink Manhattan, right under the sea
Am - B - Em Am Em - :|
I'll find the sweetest spot to watch as it goes away
|: Em Am Em - Am D Am -
You were so happy with the things that you said
Am - B - Em Am Em - :|
Like "he's my lower half" you laughed, but you're gonna cry
F - - - Em - - -
A river of tiny tears flow from your crocodile eyes
B - - - D - - -
Too late to apologize, I say, as flood waters rise
2.
|: Em Am Em - Am D Am -
I'll sink Manhattan, I'll sacrifice friends
Am - B - Em Am Em - :|
I think they'd understand my plan - I'll never be sure
|: Em Am Em - Am D Am -
I've got a message, so before I get through
Am - B - Em Am Em - :|
I'll find your answering machine and I'll sink it first
F - - - Em - - -
Burn your forget-me-nots - admit that true love can die
B - - - Em Am Em
No I won't apologize my love just kiss me goodbye
