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
A#m 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]
A#m G# F#
There's nothing left for me
D#m 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
