A7               G
There's a man on the street
        C                   D
With a wide stance and a gun
                Em
He's wearing a face mask
  Am7                       C
I ask if he has an extra one
       Em7        Am7         G
He says, "Not today, now please
                    C   D
Step back six feet away"
              Em              Am7
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
                     C
I wish I could say, "Okay"

           G                        D
But even the cobbles are lonely today
   G                        Em7  D C  Em   F C
The city that never sleeps is sleeping

Em                         F
I saw a magpie by my window
C                                             Em7
I thought bad luck but then another came along
      Am7                 G
I discard my superstitions
                       C  D
When they don't go my way
        Em7
I am decidedly blue
     A                  C
And blue is how I'll stay

            G
Until the streets are filled with people
            Bm
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
        Em7
And the only fear that exists
      C
Is a fear we already know
      G
Not a fear that silently closes
      Bm7
Every bar, every public room
     Em
Just bone breaks and cancer
        C
And the usual doom and gloom

         D        Em       D
Even lady liberty silently cries
    G                         Em7     D    C
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes

          G
Until the streets are filled with people
            Bm7
Who hug and touch and say, "Hello"
          Em7
Until the only fear that exists
         C
Is a fear we already know
      G
Not a fear that silently closes
      Bm
Every bar, every public room
     Em7             G
Just bone breaks and cancer
         C
And the usual doom and gloom

         D           Em       D
Even the cobbles are lonely today
    G                         Em D  C
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
          D       Em       D
Even lady liberty silently cries
    G                         Em      D     C
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
