[C#] Now I notice the street lamps dumb, the ghosts of graffiti they good and quite erasin' blank
I see the face scares on the subway as people [A] go home
[C#m] The parks lay empty like my unmade bed, the streets are silent like my [E] lifeless telephone
[C#] And this is where I live, but I've never felt less [A] at home
[C#m] So I'm not [E] unsympathetic, I see why [F#] you left
There's no one to know, there's nothing [Bm] to do
The [E] city's been dead since you've been [F#] gone

Sometimes I stand on my roof at [G#m] night, [C#] watch as something seems to happen
[G#m] Someone else [C#] could feel like a breeze, to pick me up [B] and carry me [A] away
[C#] Out and over the [G#m] iridescent grid, [C#] up and away from the bomb [G#m]-busting neon [C#] lights
And out [C#m] and away from everything that makes me [A] what I am
[C#] So I'm not [A] unsympathetic, I see [F#m] why you left
There's no [F#] one to know, there's nothing [B] to do
The [E] city's been dead since you've been [F#m] gone

[C#] Oh, I never had just whatever it is [G#m] you wanted
[B] [C#] Oh, I really tried, tried to travel my [F#] mind, you made me crazy
[C#] To try to figure out what it is I've [F#m] come on
[G#m] Every [A] time, with [C#]
everything I've learned, everything I hope [F#] you have
[B] Oh, sometimes [E] all I ever say now is goodbye
