VERSE1:
Chords:
C5    x355xx    C5/G  3355xx
C5/F  xx3010    C5/A  x055xx
C5/B  x2x010


| C5                        | C5/F
     It's a really old city        split between the dead and the living

| C5/B                        | C5/G
      So, I thought to myself,       sitting on a graveyard shelf

| C5/A                          | C5/F
      As the echo of heartbeats        from the ground below my feet

| C5/B                       | C5/G
      Filled a cemetery in the centre of Queens


| C5                              | C5/F
     I started running the maze of       names and the dates,

| C5/B                       | C5/G
      some older than others:       the skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers

| C5/A                          | C5/F
      With Manhattan behind her,       three million stunning reminders

| C5/B                | C5/G
     Built a cemetery        in the centre of Queens



CHORUS:
Chords:
C   x32010 or x3555x
Em  022000 or x79987
F   x33211 or 133211


| C                     | Em                    | F
  You said, remember that life is not meant to be wasted,

We can always be chasing the sun


| C                | Em               | F
    So, fill up your lungs and just ru__un

But always be chasing the sun



VERSE2:
Chords:
C5    x355xx    C5/G  3355xx
C5/F  xx3010    C5/A  x055xx
C5/B  x2x010


| C5                    | C5/F
     So, how do you do it      with just words and just music,

| C5/B                     | C5/G
       Capture the feeling        that my earth is somebody's ceiling

| C5/A                        | C5/F
       Can I deliver in sound        the weight of the ground

| C5/B              | C5/G
       Of a cemetery       in the centre of Queens


| C5                              | C5/F
     There's a history through her       sent to us as a gift from the future

| C5/B                   | C5/G
     To show us the proof     more than that, it's to dare us to move

| C5/A                    | C5/F
     And to open our eyes      and to learn from the sky

| C5/B              | C5/G
     From a cemetery     in the centre of Queens



[repeat CHORUS]

| C5/A                           | C5/F
     And the gift of my heartbeat       sounds like a symphony,

| C5/B                   | C5/G
     Played by a cemetary       in the centre of Queens
