Verse:
Db
  It’s a really old city
Gbmaj7   
  Stuck between the dead and the living
Ab                        Ab
  So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
Bbm                         Gbmaj7   
  As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet
Ab                  Ab
  Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens
Db
  I started running the maze of
Gbmaj7                        Ab 
  The names and the dates, some older than others
Ab7
The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers
Bbm                        Gbmaj7   
  With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders
Ab                  Ab7
  Built a cemetery in the center of Queens

Chorus:
Db                       Fm
You said, remember that life is
                Gbmaj7   
Not meant to be wasted
       Ab
We can always be chasing the sun
Db                  Fm             Gbmaj7   
  So fill up your lungs and just run
    Ab
But always be chasing the sun

Verse:
Db
  So how do you do it
Gbmaj7                              Ab 
  With just words and just music, capture the feeling
Ab
 That my earth is somebody’s ceiling
Bbm                    Gbmaj7                      Ab 
  Can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground
             Ab
Of a cemetery in the center of Queens
Db
  There’s a history through her
Gbmaj7                                Ab 
Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof
Ab                                  F 
More than that, it’s to dare us to move
Bbm                  Gbmaj7                        Ab 
   And to open our eyes and to learn from the sky
               Ab
From a cemetery in the center of Queens

Chorus:
Db                       Fm
You said, remember that life is
                Gbmaj7   
Not meant to be wasted
       Ab
We can always be chasing the sun
Db                  Fm             Gbmaj7   
  So fill up your lungs and just run
    Ab
But always be chasing the sun

Bridge:
Db            Gbmaj7    Ab
  All we can do is try
Bbm                    Gbmaj7    Ab
  And live like we’re still alive

Verse:

  So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
Bbm                            Gbmaj7   
  And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
Ab                       Ab                        -nc-
   Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens

Db            Gbmaj7    Ab
  All we can do is try
Bbm                    Gbmaj7    Ab     Db
  And live like we’re still alive
