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