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