A#7 G#
There's a man on the street
C# D#
With a wide stance and a gun
Fm
He's wearing a face mask
A#m7 C#
I ask if he has an extra one
Fm7 A#m7 G#
He says, "Not today, now please
C# D#
Step back six feet away"
Fm A#m7
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
C#
I wish I could say, "Okay"
G# D#
But even the cobbles are lonely today
G# Fm7 D# C# Fm F# C#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Fm F#
I saw a magpie by my window
C# Fm7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
A#m7 G#
I discard my superstitions
C# D#
When they don't go my way
Fm7
I am decidedly blue
A# C#
And blue is how I'll stay
G#
Until the streets are filled with people
Cm
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Fm7
And the only fear that exists
C#
Is a fear we already know
G#
Not a fear that silently closes
Cm7
Every bar, every public room
Fm
Just bone breaks and cancer
C#
And the usual doom and gloom
D# Fm D#
Even lady liberty silently cries
G# Fm7 D# C#
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
G#
Until the streets are filled with people
Cm7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Fm7
Until the only fear that exists
C#
Is a fear we already know
G#
Not a fear that silently closes
Cm
Every bar, every public room
Fm7 G#
Just bone breaks and cancer
C#
And the usual doom and gloom
D# Fm D#
Even the cobbles are lonely today
G# Fm D# C#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping

Even lady liberty silently cries

The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
