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