[Verse]

          Am7
There's a madman from Manhattan
D                           
There with a man's hat and a 
                  Am7   D
Floor mat made of satin
             Am7
But this cat was not like this or that
         D                     
But that which was aptly named 
                Am7
For a man whose plan
                                    D
Is a dime in a can downstairs for a dollar
          Am7
If he can win the time with a dame
         D                C G F Am7
He ain't ashamed to holler
 
 
[Verse]

Am7                    
Catch a train with the 
                    D
Name of an alphabet letter
        Am7                            
Had the brains to remain with the dame  
                  D
Right up until he let her think
                               Am7
She was just on the brink of a breakthrough
D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
              Am7                      
But this dime in her can in the sink is 
               D
Enough to just make you think
                              Am7           
That it all comes down to the trust that is  
                                 D
Covered in rust that you can't rΠ΅move
Am7                                 
Sticking around on the grounds that 
                        D
You know that you can't prove
                         C    G F G D  N.C. D
A thing to a judgΠ΅ and a jury
 
 
[Interlude]

D7 Dm7
 
 
[Verse]

D           Dm7        
And then of course an 
                   D
Angel comes to him and sings
D
She swims under whiskey with her wings
             Dm          
And from the inside of a 
              D
Bottle with a shaft of light
D
She tells him with a 

Song that it is not right
 
 
[Chorus]

D               F
It's not right, it's not right
     C                   D
It's not right now, it's wrong
D
But he does not listen to her for long
 
 
[Verse]

D
He says madmen aren't born, 

They're cultivated
D
Conned by the conmen in the 

World the marks created
            Dm          D
And then he cons himself
   Dm                           
He tricks himself into thinking 
D
That he is right
 
 
[Chorus]

F
It's not right, it's not right
     C                   D
It's not right now, it's wrong
D
But then he forgets to 

Put it in a song

She was just on the 
           Am7
Brink of a breakthrough
D                                   Am7
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
