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
