Verse:

G                       C/G   G   C/G   G
The world keeps getting smaller
        C
'til it closes 'round my room
     D
And everything I feel now
     C
Is hard and fast and true
G               C/G   G     C/G   G
My window is a spotlight
       C
On the madness down below
           D
It takes a silent figure
   C
To make this place a home


Chorus:

        Am      Em7       D
Now the candles burn all night
        Em
Without you
        Am         Em7     D
And the moon hangs out of sight
   C
So blue
    Em7     Cadd9
On Seventh Avenue


Verse:

G                   C/G   G   C/G   G
I gave you what you wanted
       C
And it took so many years
        D
Now I'm just a part of
    C
The traffic and the tears
G           C/G   G    C/G   G
I am not a lighthouse
        C
Not the answer or the truth
        D
But the love that I held onto
   C
Is safe inside this room

Chorus:

        Am      Em7       D
Now the candles burn all night
        Em
Without you
        Am         Em7     D
And the moon hangs out of sight
   C
So blue
    Em7     Cadd9
On Seventh Avenue

Interlude:


Chorus:

        Am      Em7       D
Now the candles burn all night
        Em
Without you
        Am         Em7     D
And the moon hangs out of sight
   C
So blue
    Em7     Cadd9
On Seventh Avenue
