[Em]
[A] [E] I have to come and see you, maybe once or twice [A] a year.
I think nothing [F#m] looks any better than you.
Now, then some downtown atmosphere.
[D] In the dance [E] hall and the gallery, [Em] [Bm] sitting in the old TV.
[Am] Sing [G] for the lights, [Am] light [G] magic, [D] the poetry room.
[E] Sun [A] goes down in Jersey, [E] rises over [A] Little Italy.
[E] You get up, get up, get up, [A] get up, [E] swapping stories.
[F#m] [B]
[Em] [D] Sitting [E] around in some all-nighter, [A] [Em] [Bm] watching me run like a movie.
[Am] Sing [G] for the lights, [C] light [G] magic, [D] the poetry room.
[B] [G] No hearts of gold, [Em] no [Bm] nerves of steel.
No blame for [E] what we can [D] and cannot heal.
[A#]
[E] But now it's [A] cloak and dagger, [E] what fun angels [A] and animals.
We've realized [E] everybody's all of [A] different.
[E]
[F#m] It's a [E] novel in our [F#m] eyes.
[Bm] [D] You [E] say you're unscrupulous.
[Em] You [Bm] say you're naive.
[C] Sing [G] for the lights, [Am] light [G] magic, the [D] poetry room.
[B] No [G] hearts [F#] of gold, [G] no nerves [Bm] of steel.
No blame for [E] what we can and [D] cannot heal.
[A#]
[F]
[E] Sometimes [A] change comes at you, [E] like a broadside [A] accident.
There is chaos [E] in the order, [A] [E]
[F#m] and [E] things you can't prevent.
[F#m] [B]
[D] You travel [E] around that corner, [Em] [Bm] you could be a beauty from the street.
[C] Sing [G] for the lights, [Am] light [D]
magic, the poetry room.
[B] No [Em] hearts [F#] of [Em] gold, no nerves [Bm] of steel.
No blame for what [E] we can and [Am] cannot [G] heal.
[B] [G] No nerves [F#] of [D] steel, no hearts of gold.
No
[B] blame for [E] what we can and [A] cannot heal.
[D]
[A#] It's [F]
[A#] angelic.
[F]
It's
[A#] angelic.
[F]
[A#]
It's angelic.
