Intro
C C/G C/F
[Verse 1]
C C/G
Just give me a second
C/F C
Before I pack up my boxes and shut you out of my life
C/G
Just give me a minute
C/F C
So I can drink up the feeling we had just one last time
C/G C/F
Your shadow stained the carpet
C
So I got hardwood floors
C/G C/F
The noise punched through the window -
C
I don't sleep anymore
C/G
Mmm
C/F
We moved to the rhythm of the traffic on the street
C
The street, mmm
C/G
Mmm
C/F
I try to dance now but I can't feel no beat
N.C C C/G
No be-eeat
[Refrain]
C/F C C/G
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)
C/F
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)
[Verse 2]
C C/G
And under the sidewalks, (mm)
C/F C
I ride the subway 'cause I look for you in every face
C/G C/F
Don't wanna find you, though
'Cause 8 million strangers lose their distance once you take their place
Am G F
Mmm
N.C. C C/G
8 million bodies and they're yours and now I'm out of space
[Refrain]
C/F C C/G
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)
C/F
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)
[Bridge]
Am G F
There's nothing left for me
Dm F
In this city anymore, mm
But
C C/G C/F
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night
C C/G C/F
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night...
[Outro]
C
And without
C/G
Your light to blind
C/F
I can see the stars at night
C
Windows open
C/G
Shut my eyes
C/F
Sync my resting heartbeat to the night...
C
Without
C/G
Your light to blind
C/F
I can see the stars at night
C
Windows open
C/G
Shut my eyes
C/F
Sync my resting heartbeat to the quiet night
C C/G
...When the silence gets too loud
C/F
I'll feel you calling me home
C C/G
When the silence gets too loud
C/F
I'll feel you calling me home
