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