C C/G C/F

[Verse 1]
C              C/G
Just give me a second
C/F                                                  C
Before I pack up my boxes and shut you out of my life
                 C/G
Just give me a minute
C/F                                                 C
So I can drink up the feeling we had just one last time
       C/G              C/F
Your shadow stained the carpet
                      C
So I got hardwood floors
     C/G                        C/F
The noise punched through the window -
                   C
I don't sleep anymore

  C/G
Mmm
    C/F
We moved to the rhythm of the traffic on the street
             C
The street, mmm
 C/G
Mmm
  C/F
I try to dance now but I can't feel no beat
     N.C  C C/G 
No be-eeat


[Refrain]
C/F                       C C/G
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)
C/F
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)


[Verse 2]
                 C        C/G
And under the sidewalks, (mm)
C/F                                               C
I ride the subway 'cause I look for you in every face
             C/G           C/F
Don't wanna find you, though

'Cause 8 million strangers lose their distance once you take their place
Am  G  F
   Mmm
N.C.                                                      C C/G     
8 million bodies and they're yours and now I'm out of space


[Refrain]
C/F                       C C/G
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)
C/F
(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)


[Bridge]
Am         G             F
There's nothing left for me
                 Dm    F
In this city anymore, mm

But
C                             C/G     C/F
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night
C                             C/G     C/F
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night...


[Outro]
      C
And without
                C/G
Your light to blind
      C/F
I can see the stars at night
         C
Windows open
         C/G
Shut my eyes
         C/F
Sync my resting heartbeat to the night...

   C
Without
               C/G
Your light to blind
      C/F
I can see the stars at night
         C
Windows open
         C/G
Shut my eyes
         C/F
Sync my resting heartbeat to the quiet night

              C               C/G
...When the silence gets too loud
                         C/F
I'll feel you calling me home

            C              C/G
When the silence gets too loud
                          C/F
I'll feel you calling me home
