Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Think  there's a line that I crossed somewhere over the border
 'Cos I broke  every rule you had written in your little book
 Singing Neil  Young songs to the ones who, like lambs to the slaughter
 Are combing  their hair and selling stories about drugs they took
 And Renee she thinks that all of her prayers have been answered
 When she stands under the lights to make those six wires sing
 But the truth is those strings are just pulled by a roomful of chancers
 And there's nothing original, not even original sin
 And I want to run  run run fast as I can
 Let those grey  gloves wrap their fingers around my heart
 I want to run  run run so far from here
 'Till the streets  of Manhattan just tear this waster apart
 No I don't wanna talk,  I wanna dance in New  York
 I wanna dance in New York
 (Chords are pretty much the same throughout the rest of the song, except for an extra
 at the very end)
 Well I heard a breeze blow like a ghost riding out cross the ocean
 And the smell of the midsummer sun dripping down through the blue
 It's so easy to drift through these things with your eyes half open
 Looking out for the prize lining up all the things left to prove
 And who would have thought that a year on I'd be where I'm standing
 Half singing a song to a person I've only half met
 But I have fought like a wildcat for space and understanding
 And boy let me tell you I'm not done fighting yet
 'Cos I want to run run run fast as I can
 Let those grey gloves wrap their fingers around my heart
 I want to run run run so far from here
 'Till the streets of Manhattan just tear this waster apart
 No I don't wanna talk, I wanna dance in New York
 I wanna dance in New York
 So sing to me all of you children of one minute wonder
 Sing it out like you've always wanted to do
 I will dance in the street no matter who's sky I am under
 You sing it out and I'll sing it straight back to you
 Then let me run run run fast as I can
 Let those grey gloves wrap their fingers around my heart
 I want to run run run so far from here
 'Till the streets of Manhattan just tear this waster apart
 No I don't wanna talk, I wanna dance in New York
 I wanna dance in New York
 I wanna dance in New York
