Manhattan by Sara Bareilles - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Sara Bareilles Song List

Version 1

            I wasn't able to find solid chords to this song, so I created a slightly simplified 
version for anyone to pick up and cover. If you use these chords I would love to see your work!

[Intro]

A   Amaj7   F#m   Esus4
A   C#m      F#m   Fmaj7


[Verse 1]

A                Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                Esus4
I know its for the best
A                  Amaj7
Ill gather up the avenues
F#m                          Esus4
And leave them on your doorstep
Dmaj7        C#m7
And Ill tip toe away
Esus4                 E
So you wont have to say
A                Amaj7       F#m    Fmaj7
You heard me leave


[Verse 2]

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   Esus4
I know it’s what you want
A                           Amaj7
The bustle and the buildings
F#m                  E
The weather in the fall
Dmaj7        C#m7
And I’ll bow out of place
Esus4                 E
To save you some space
F#m           F#m/E     B
For somebody new


[Chorus]

D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can’t have you


[Interlude]

A   Amaj7   F#m   Fmaj7
A   Amaj7   F#m   Fmaj7


[Verse 3]

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   Esus4
The one we used to share
A                           Amaj7
The one where we were laughing
F#m                  E
And drunk on just being there
Dmaj7        C#m7
Hang on to the reverie
Esus4                 E
Could you do that for me?
F#m           F#m/E     B
Cause I’m just too sad to


[Chorus]

D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can’t have you


[Bridge]

A   Amaj7   F#m   E

D     C#m7    D/B    A
And so it goes
E
One foot after the other
     Dm
Til black and white begin to color in
A   Amaj7    F#m   E
And I know
D       C#m7
That holding us in place
Fmaj7
Is simply fear of what’s already changed


[Interlude]

A   Amaj7   F#m   E
A   Amaj7 F#m   E


[Verse]

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   Esus4
I’ll settle for the beach
A                           Amaj7
And sunsets facing westward
F#m                  Fmaj7
With sand beneath my feet
Dmaj7        C#m7
I’ll wish this away
Esus4                 E
Just missing the days
F#m           F#m/E     B
When I was one half of two


[Chorus]

D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can’t have you


[Outro]

A   Amaj7   F#m   E
A   Amaj7  F#m   Fmaj7
A   Amaj7   F#m   Fmaj7
A  Amaj7   F#m   Fmaj7
