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