B7 A
There's a man on the street
D E
With a wide stance and a gun
F#m
He's wearing a face mask
Bm7 D
I ask if he has an extra one
F#m7 Bm7 A
He says, "Not today, now please
D E
Step back six feet away"
F#m Bm7
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
D
I wish I could say, "Okay"
A E
But even the cobbles are lonely today
A F#m7 E D F#m G D
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
F#m G
I saw a magpie by my window
D F#m7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
Bm7 A
I discard my superstitions
D E
When they don't go my way
F#m7
I am decidedly blue
B D
And blue is how I'll stay
A
Until the streets are filled with people
C#m
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
F#m7
And the only fear that exists
D
Is a fear we already know
A
Not a fear that silently closes
C#m7
Every bar, every public room
F#m
Just bone breaks and cancer
D
And the usual doom and gloom
E F#m E
Even lady liberty silently cries
A F#m7 E D
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
A
Until the streets are filled with people
C#m7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
F#m7
Until the only fear that exists
D
Is a fear we already know
A
Not a fear that silently closes
C#m
Every bar, every public room
F#m7 A
Just bone breaks and cancer
D
And the usual doom and gloom
E F#m E
Even the cobbles are lonely today
A F#m E D
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
E F#m E
Even lady liberty silently cries
A F#m E D
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
