intro : C – C

C
its 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 somebodys ceiling ,
Am F
can i deliver in sound , the weight of the ground
Em7 G
of a cemetery in the center of queens
C
theres a history through her
F Em7
sent to us as a gift from the future , to show us the proof
G
more than that , its 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

Am F G
and live like were still alive

Am F
and the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
Em7 G
played by a cemetery in the center of queens

we can always be chasing the sun!
