[Intro]
C F Em G
[Pre-Chorus]
C It's a really old city F Stuck between the dead and the living Em G So I thought to myself sitting on a graveyard shelf Am F As the echo of heartbeats from the ground below my feet Em G* Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens
[Verse 1]
C I started running the maze of F Em 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 Em G* Built a cemetery in the center of Queens
[Chorus]
C Em F You said remember that life is not meant to be wasted G C* 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
[Instrumental]
C F Em G
[Verse 2]
C F Em So how do you do it With just words and just music capture the feeling G That my earth is somebody's ceiling Am F can I deliver in sound the weight of the ground Em G Of a cemetery in the center of Queens C There's a history through her F Em 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 Am F To open our eyes and to learn from the sky Em G* From a cemetery in the center of Queens
[Chorus]
C Em F You said remember that life is Not meant to be wasted G C* 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
[Bridge]
C F G All we can do is try Am F G And live like we're still alive
[Pre-Chorus]
C It's a really old city F Stuck between the dead and the living Em G So I thought to myself sitting on a graveyard shelf Am F And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony Em G* Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens
[Chorus]
C Em F You said remember that life is not meant to be wasted G C* 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
[Bridge]
C F G All we can do is try Am F G And live like we're still alive C F G All we can do is try Am F G And live like we're still alive
NOTE FOR ENDING You can either go with the Pre-chorus thing that starts out the song
like she does or what I like to do is the first two lines of the chorus except softer
and stay in the octave for sun instead of going up like in the rest of the song and
fade off with a pretty C chord
