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