verse 1 
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 
     C               Fm           C 
So I took you to the city for the night 
   C           Fm           C 
To dance under dizzy silver lights 
          Am                
But for a moment, you were wild 
     F                            C     Fm C 
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 


 
            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 x2

verse 2 
       C        Fm              C 
These apartment walls are paper thin 
    C         Fm               C 
And no one is trying to listen in 
        Am 
What to hear our doubts 
         F                            C   Fm C 
Hear our whispered shouts, they don't care

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

Take it out on me

Take it out on me x2

  Feel my hand round yours

Don't succumb
