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