D#7 C#
There's a man on the street
F# G#
With a wide stance and a gun
A#m
He's wearing a face mask
D#m7 F#
I ask if he has an extra one
A#m7 D#m7 C#
He says, "Not today, now please
F# G#
Step back six feet away"
A#m D#m7
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
F#
I wish I could say, "Okay"
C# G#
But even the cobbles are lonely today
C# A#m7 G# F# A#m B F#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
A#m B
I saw a magpie by my window
F# A#m7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
D#m7 C#
I discard my superstitions
F# G#
When they don't go my way
A#m7
I am decidedly blue
D# F#
And blue is how I'll stay
C#
Until the streets are filled with people
Fm
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
A#m7
And the only fear that exists
F#
Is a fear we already know
C#
Not a fear that silently closes
Fm7
Every bar, every public room
A#m
Just bone breaks and cancer
F#
And the usual doom and gloom
G# A#m G#
Even lady liberty silently cries
C# A#m7 G# F#
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
C#
Until the streets are filled with people
Fm7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
A#m7
Until the only fear that exists
F#
Is a fear we already know
C#
Not a fear that silently closes
Fm
Every bar, every public room
A#m7 C#
Just bone breaks and cancer
F#
And the usual doom and gloom
G# A#m G#
Even the cobbles are lonely today
C# A#m G# F#
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
G# A#m G#
Even lady liberty silently cries
C# A#m G# F#
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
