D7 C
There's a man on the street
F G
With a wide stance and a gun
Am
He's wearing a face mask
Dm7 F
I ask if he has an extra one
Am7 Dm7 C
He says, "Not today, now please
F G
Step back six feet away"
Am Dm7
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 Am7 G F Am A# F
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Am A#
I saw a magpie by my window
F Am7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
Dm7 C
I discard my superstitions
F G
When they don't go my way
Am7
I am decidedly blue
D F
And blue is how I'll stay
C
Until the streets are filled with people
Em
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Am7
And the only fear that exists
F
Is a fear we already know
C
Not a fear that silently closes
Em7
Every bar, every public room
Am
Just bone breaks and cancer
F
And the usual doom and gloom
G Am G
Even lady liberty silently cries
C Am7 G F
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
C
Until the streets are filled with people
Em7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
Am7
Until the only fear that exists
F
Is a fear we already know
C
Not a fear that silently closes
Em
Every bar, every public room
Am7 C
Just bone breaks and cancer
F
And the usual doom and gloom
G Am G
Even the cobbles are lonely today
C Am G F
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
G Am G
Even lady liberty silently cries
C Am G F
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
