E7 D
There's a man on the street
G A
With a wide stance and a gun
Bm
He's wearing a face mask
Em7 G
I ask if he has an extra one
Bm7 Em7 D
He says, "Not today, now please
G A
Step back six feet away"
Bm Em7
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 Bm7 A G Bm C G
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Bm C
I saw a magpie by my window
G Bm7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
Em7 D
I discard my superstitions
G A
When they don't go my way
Bm7
I am decidedly blue
E G
And blue is how I'll stay
D
Until the streets are filled with people
F#m
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Bm7
And the only fear that exists
G
Is a fear we already know
D
Not a fear that silently closes
F#m7
Every bar, every public room
Bm
Just bone breaks and cancer
G
And the usual doom and gloom
A Bm A
Even lady liberty silently cries
D Bm7 A G
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
D
Until the streets are filled with people
F#m7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Bm7
Until the only fear that exists
G
Is a fear we already know
D
Not a fear that silently closes
F#m
Every bar, every public room
Bm7 D
Just bone breaks and cancer
G
And the usual doom and gloom
A Bm A
Even the cobbles are lonely today
D Bm A G
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
A Bm A
Even lady liberty silently cries
D Bm A G
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
