capo 1st fret

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Intro: C - C

C

It's a really old city

F

Stuck between the dead and the living

Em7 G

So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf

Am F Em7

As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet

G

Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens

C F

I started running the maze of

Em7

The names and the dates, some older than others

G

The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers

Am F

With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders

Em7 G

Built a cemetery in the center of Queens

C Em F

You said, remember that life is, not meant to be wasted

G

We can always be chasing the sun!

C Em F

So fill up your lungs and just run

G C

But always be chasing the sun!

C F Em7

So how do you do it, With just words and just music, capture the feeling

G

That my earth is somebody?s ceiling,

Am F

can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground

Em7 G

Of a cemetery in the center of Queens

C

There?s a history through her

F Em7

Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof

G

More than that, it's to dare us to move

Am F

To open our eyes and to learn from the sky

Em7 G

From a cemetery in the center of Queens

C Em F

You said, remember that life is, Not meant to be wasted

G

We can always be chasing the sun!

C Em F

So fill up your lungs and just run

G

But always be chasing the sun!

C F G

All we can do is try

Am F G

And live like we're still alive

C

It's a really old city

F

Stuck between the dead and the living

Em7 G

So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf

Am F

And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony

Em7 G

Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens

C Em F

You said, remember that life is not meant to be wasted

G

We can always be chasing the sun!

C Em F

So fill up your lungs and just run

G

But always be chasing the sun!

C F G

All we can do is try

Am F G

And live like we're still alive

C F G

All we can do is try

Am F G

And live like we're still alive
