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