Intro: C - C     

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  
G 
We can always be chasing the sun!  

C                       Em             F 
So fill up your lungs and just run  
G 
But always be chasing the sun!  

C               F      G       
All we can do is try  
Am                            F          G 
And live like we're still alive  

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 
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony  
Em7                             G 
Played by 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 
But always be chasing the sun!  
C               F      G 
All we can do is try  
Am                         F       G 
And live like we're still alive  
C               F      G 
All we can do is try  
Am                           F        G 
And live like we're still alive
