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

Even lady liberty silently cries
