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: 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 And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony Ab Ab -nc- Played by 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 Outro: Db Gbmaj7 Ab All we can do is try Bbm Gbmaj7 Ab And live like we’re still alive Db Gbmaj7 Ab All we can do is try Bbm Gbmaj7 Ab Db And live like we’re still alive
