Empire State Chords & Lyrics - Guster

[C] Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain

Been scolded for stealin' Been told to behave
[F] Been readin' the forecast Somethin's coming this way

But it's takin' forever I'm too tired to maintain that
I'm [C]slow

Been a scratch on the surface Been a clog in the drain

Been melodramatic Been sleepin' for days
[F] Been one in a million Been a million to one

This is takin' forever Always seems to return that
I'm [C]slow

[F]All hands up, salute the [C]Empire State
[F]Faith be true, you know the [C]way
[D]Ten feet tall in this: an [Am]empty space
Fallen w[F]alls all around
Destroyed a[G]gain
Destroyed a[C]gain

Been diggin' to China Been a fish in the sea

Been talkin' to Jesus But he's not talkin' to me
[F] Been readin' the forecast Something's coming this way

But it's taken forever And I've already maintained that
I'm [C]slow

[F]All hands up, salute the [C]Empire State
[F]Faith is true, she knows the [C]way
[D]Ten miles tall in this: an [Am]empty space
Fallen [F]walls all around
We'll build a[G]gain
C ( continue for the rest of the song.)
Rebuild again

Been the crawl of a mountain

Been a link in a chain

Been scolded for stealin'

Been carted away
