[Intro]
A E F#m E x2
[Verse 1]
A E F#m E Last night, late, I was watching it snow A E F#m E It always goes sideways in the city A E F#m E It comes right out from the street lights, you know A E F#m Pumped out by an engine deep inside the earth's core E A It goes sideways in the city
[Instrumental]
(A) E F#m E
A E F#m E
[Verse 2]
A E F#m E Cover the shapes and erase the date A E F#m E This could be any evening in any place A E F#m The blizzard blows from left to right E A E D Which is funny 'cause the piano's playing "Summertime", from 1935 Bm A D So sounds the alarm of ragtime E A It's ragtime keeping time
[Instrumental]
(A) E F#m E
A E F#m E
[Verse 3]
A E F#m Brave to the waves of its residue E A Its laughter from a marbled room E F#m The white-crowned sounds of possible E A The sound that lures me E F#m It says, "Don't you hurry E A Don't you worry, kid, we'll be seeing you E F#m E We'll see you when you're ready."
[Chorus]
D Bm D Bm
[Instrumental]
A E F#m E x2
[Verse 4]
A E F#m Ragtime turning out the sun and moon E A Its gravity is soothing E F#m It winds me in a sleep cocoon E A I'll reveal myself when I'm ready E F#m E I'll reveal myself invincible soon
[Chorus]
