• Capo on 5th

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

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

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

Verse 3:

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

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

Solo:
C/G  Fmaj7/C   C/G     Fmaj7/c    Am     G    Fmaj7/c   x2

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

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