G7 F
There's a man on the street
A# C
With a wide stance and a gun
Dm
He's wearing a face mask
Gm7 A#
I ask if he has an extra one
Dm7 Gm7 F
He says, "Not today, now please
A# C
Step back six feet away"
Dm Gm7
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
A#
I wish I could say, "Okay"
F C
But even the cobbles are lonely today
F Dm7 C A# Dm D# A#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Dm D#
I saw a magpie by my window
A# Dm7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
Gm7 F
I discard my superstitions
A# C
When they don't go my way
Dm7
I am decidedly blue
G A#
And blue is how I'll stay
F
Until the streets are filled with people
Am
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Dm7
And the only fear that exists
A#
Is a fear we already know
F
Not a fear that silently closes
Am7
Every bar, every public room
Dm
Just bone breaks and cancer
A#
And the usual doom and gloom
C Dm C
Even lady liberty silently cries
F Dm7 C A#
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
F
Until the streets are filled with people
Am7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Dm7
Until the only fear that exists
A#
Is a fear we already know
F
Not a fear that silently closes
Am
Every bar, every public room
Dm7 F
Just bone breaks and cancer
A#
And the usual doom and gloom
C Dm C
Even the cobbles are lonely today
F Dm C A#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
C Dm C
Even lady liberty silently cries
F Dm C A#
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
