Artist: Sara Bareilles
Capo 1st fret
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Intro: [C] - [C]
[C]It's a really old city
[F]Stuck between the dead and the living
[Em7]So I thought to myself, sitting [G]on a graveyard shelf
[Am]As the echo of heartbeats, from the [F]ground below my feet [Em7]
Filled a cemetery in the[G] center of Queens
[C]I started running the maze of [F]
The names and the dates, some ol[Em7]der than others
[G]The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers
[Am]With Manhattan behind her, three million[F] stunning reminders
[Em7]Built a cemetery in the [G]center of Queens
[C]You said, remember that life is,[Em] not meant to be wasted [F]
[G]We can always be chasing the sun!
[C]So fill up your lungs an[Em]d just run [F]
[G]But always be chasing the sun! [C]
[C]So how do you do it, With just w[F]ords and just music, capture the feelin[Em7]g
T[G]hat my earth is somebody's ceiling,
[Am]can I deliver in sound, the weig[F]ht of the ground
[Em7]Of a cemetery in the center of Q[G]ueens
[C]There's a history through her
[F]Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us[Em7] the proof
[G]More than that, it's to dare us to move
[Am]To open our eyes and to learn fr[F]om the sky
[Em7]From a cemetery in the center of[G] Queens
[C]You said, remember that life is,[Em] Not meant to be wasted [F]
[G]We can always be chasing the sun!
[C]So fill up your lungs an[Em]d just run [F]
[G]But always be chasing the sun!
[C]All we can do is[F] try [G]
[Am]And live like we're still aliv[F]e [G]
[C]It's a really old city
[F]Stuck between the dead and the living
S[Em7]o I thought to myself, sitting [G]on a graveyard shelf
[Am]And the gift of my heartbeat sou[F]nds like a symphony
[Em7]Played by a cemetery in the cent[G]er of Queens
[C]You said, remember that life is [Em]not meant to be wasted [F]
[G]We can always be chasing the sun!
[C]So fill up your lungs an[Em]d just run [F]
[G]But always be chasing the sun!
[C]All we can do is[F] try [G]
[Am]And live like we're still a[F]live [G]
[C]All we can do is[F] try [G]
[Am]And live like we're still ali[F]ve [G]
