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
Em 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]
Em D C
There's nothing left for me
Am 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
