Tom: D
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
