There's a man on the street
G# A#
With a wide stance and a gun
Cm
He's wearing a face mask
Fm7 G#
I ask if he has an extra one
Cm7 Fm7 D#
He says, "Not today, now please
G# A#
Step back six feet away"
Cm Fm7
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
G#
I wish I could say, "Okay"
D# A#
But even the cobbles are lonely today
D# Cm7 A# G# Cm C# G#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Cm C#
I saw a magpie by my window
G# Cm7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
Fm7 D#
I discard my superstitions
G# A#
When they don't go my way
Cm7
I am decidedly blue
F G#
And blue is how I'll stay
D#
Until the streets are filled with people
Gm
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Cm7
And the only fear that exists
G#
Is a fear we already know
D#
Not a fear that silently closes
Gm7
Every bar, every public room
Cm
Just bone breaks and cancer
G#
And the usual doom and gloom
A# Cm A#
Even lady liberty silently cries
D# Cm7 A# G#
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
D#
Until the streets are filled with people
Gm7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Cm7
Until the only fear that exists
G#
Is a fear we already know
D#
Not a fear that silently closes
Gm
Every bar, every public room
Cm7 D#
Just bone breaks and cancer
G#
And the usual doom and gloom
A# Cm A#
Even the cobbles are lonely today
D# Cm A# G#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
A# Cm A#
Even lady liberty silently cries

The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
