Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
C/GC/G          Fmaj7/C
For six weeks straight
         C/GC/G    Fmaj7/C
I've been staying up too late
          A minorAm
Book torn to pieces page by page
G+G        Fmaj7/C
Nothing learned, nothing gained

Verse 2:
C/GC/G          Fmaj7/C
but I've got no where to go
              C/GC/G        Fmaj7/C
Threats on the city and the bridges are closed
         A minorAm        G+G
Yesterday fell a full foot of snow
          Fmaj7/C
from a slate black sky, a bright white glow

Verse 3:

C/GC/G               Fmaj7/C
But I've been thinking of going west
          C/GC/G       Fmaj7/C
Just to climb up as high as I can get
         A minorAm       G+G
Press my soles to paths great men settin'
       Fmaj7/C
Push me right out to the edge

Verse 4:
C/GC/G           Fmaj7/C         C/GC/G      Fmaj7/C
Cause I know inside I'll find my way back to the city sometime
                 A minorAm
Feel the ground shake as a train goes by
G+G     Fmaj7/C
Not a one star in the sky

Solo:
C/GC/G Fmaj7/C  C/GC/G   Fmaj7/c  A minorAm   G+G  Fmaj7/c  x2

Verse 5:
C/GC/G       Fmaj7/C
My baby she just called and said
  C/GC/G       Fmaj7/C
The midtown tunnel's opened
     A minorAm
So let's ride
      C/GC/G         Fmaj7/C    C/GC/G   Fmaj7/C   C/GC/G
And I said darling I just don't feel much like going to Brooklyn tonight

Verse 6:
 C/GC/G         Fmaj7/C
I should try to sleep
        C/GC/G     Fmaj7/C
Lay me down and try to breathe
          A minorAm
Count each time my heart skips a beat
    G+G                 Fmaj7/C
Not one light in the house but what comes in from the street
