Intro
E C#m B A
[Verse 1]
E
Every single day is a ballet in the streets
C#m
and everyone's a dancer light and lively on their feet
B A
twinkle toes all stand in rows where roads and sidewalks meet and then they leap,
E
how they leap!
E
To symphonies of crashes all brash and harsh and loud, they make the
C#m
the city seems a place where sleeping simply ain't allowed,
B
And when the day is over and those heads are hanging down,
B
eyelids heavy all around, dreams falling from the clouds,
A E
you hear a most peaceful and beautiful sound
F#m C#m
as the city heaves a sigh
G# A
hear it start to softly sing itself that concrete lullaby,
E B E
and it's: sleep little city do not cry.
[Bridge]
E F#m G# C#m A E B E
[Verse 2]
E
Glass and concrete canyons, never abandoned
C#m
all gleaming with the lights of those who live the light demanding
B A
when the electric lights drive off the night they are still standing strong
E
weary and strong
E
and now feet pound on the ground downtown and rhythm of that step
C#m
is the living city's heartbeat and the breath inside its heaving chest
B
when the sun again sinks below buildings in the west,
B
we cease our work and seek our peace
A E
our solemn souls to rest, in the comforting cradle of the city's sooted breast.
F#m C#m
And feel the city heave a sigh,
G# C#m
hear it start to softly sing itself that concrete lullaby,
E B E
and it's sweet little city do not cry.
[Bridge and finish]
