C
It's a really old city
F
Stuck between the dead and the living
Em7 G
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
Am F Em7
As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet
G
Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens
C F
I started running the maze of
Em7
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
Em7 G
Built a cemetery in the center of Queens
C Em F
You said, remember that life is, not meant to be wasted
G
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!
C F Em7
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
Em7 G
Of a cemetery in the center of Queens
C
There?s a history through her
F Em7
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
Em7 G
From a cemetery in the center of Queens
C Em F
You said, remember that life is, Not meant to be wasted

But always be chasing the sun!

Am F G
And live like we're still alive

So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
Am F
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
Em7 G
Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens
