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