Intro: C - CC
It?s a really old city
F
Stuck between the dead and the living
EmG
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
AmFEm
As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet
G
Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens
CF
I started running the maze of
Em
The names and the dates, some older than others
G
The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers
AmF
With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders
EmG
Built a cemetery in the center of Queens
CEmF
You said, remember that life is, not meant to be wasted
G
We can always be chasing the sun!
CEmF
So fill up your lungs and just run
GC
But always be chasing the sun!
CFEm
So how do you do it, With just words and just music, capture the feeling
G
That my earth is somebody?s ceiling,
AmF
can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground
EmG
Of a cemetery in the center of Queens
C
There?s a history through her
FEm
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
AmF
To open our eyes and to learn from the sky
EmG
From a cemetery in the center of Queens
CEmF
You said, remember that life is, Not meant to be wasted
G
We can always be chasing the sun!
CEmF
So fill up your lungs and just run
G
But always be chasing the sun!
CFG
All we can do is try
AmFG
And live like we?re still alive
C
It?s a really old city
F
Stuck between the dead and the living
EmG
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
AmF
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
EmG
Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens
CEmF
You said, remember that life is not meant to be wasted
G
We can always be chasing the sun!
CEmF
So fill up your lungs and just run
G
But always be chasing the sun!
CFG
All we can do is try
AmFG
And live like we?re still alive
CFG
All we can do is try
AmFG
And live like we?re still alive
