C                 Fm               C
Broad-shouldered beasts fill the sky
    C      Fm           C
Manhattan beats at the night
     Am                    F
But you are wrapped up in wire
               C   Fm C
Curled up in fright

So I took you to the city for the night
To dance under dizzy silver lights
But for a moment, you were wild
With abandon like a child, just a moment

               F                      C
But wasn't it you who said I was not free
               F                     C
And wasn't it you who said I needed peace
              E                    F
And now it's you who's floored by fear of it all

Chorus:
            C  F
And it's alright
                C F
Take it out on me
            Am  F
And it's alright
                C
Take it out on me

These apartment walls are paper thin
And no one is trying to listen in
What to hear our doubts
Hear our whispered shouts, they don't care

Wasn't it you who said I was not free
And wasn't it you who said I needed peace
And now it's you who's floored by fear of it all

Chorus

F
But when you feel the world
Fm
wrapping round your neck
Am                  F
Feel my hand round yours
F#
And when you feel the world
F
wrapping round your neck
          C
Don't succumb

Chorus

            Am  F
And it's alright
               Am F
Take it out on me
