C
G
Am
F
G
Ooh...
Am
G
I have ferried my dreams
C
F
Across the water,
G
C
F
underneath a faceless moon
G
C
F
I woke to find myself un covered
G
C
F
In this dark and dusty room
G
C
F
Take me up the wooden stairs
C
G
Where the windows are open wide
F
G
C
F
Then we can watch the city skyline
C
G
Tremble in the heat waves rolling by
F
G
Am
G
And don't the world look pretty
F
Em
Dm
When you're young in
C
Am
F
G
the city
Am
G
C
F
So there I was, a failure climbing
G
C
F
Through these tangled threads of light
G
C
F
I was caught, hoping and bleeding
G
C
F
I was willing to stay the night
G
C
F
Take me down to where
the building's
C
G
Stand empty at our feet
F
G
C
F
Where the deadly Hudson River
C
G
And the sweet blue oceans meet
F
G
Am
G
And don't the world look pretty
F
Em
Dm
When you're young
C
Am
F
in the city
G
C
Am
F
G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
F
G
Don't you sometimes wonder
C
F
why it all goes by so fast
G
I held you in my fingers,
C
F
now I hold you in my pace
G
C
F
Once I watched you walk on water
G
C
F
Now I watch you walk across the room
G
C
F
I always thought we'd have forever
G
C
F
Now these forevers go by too soon
G
C
F
Take me down to
the street below
Where the moon and traffic
C
G
F
G
lights guide us
C
F
While we go dreaming
C
G
through another sleepless night
F
G
Am
G
And don't the world look pretty
F
Em
Dm
when you're young?
F
G
Am
G
Don't the world look pretty
F
Em
Dm
when you're young in
C
Am
F
G
C
the city?
Am
F
Ooh ooh ooh
G
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
G
Am
When you're young in the city
