The Running Styles Of New York

         G
I hear beauty in things like

The neighbors return
          D/F#
To their love and pride
                   Em
Their day like a wicked ride
             C
But then to belong

           G
And their kids running by

Given riddles and tales
          D/F#
For their way to be
                    Em
Little buddies, the mystery
               C
Of just being around


[Pre-Chorus]

Am                 Em                   D/F#
All that I fear is that all that I have given you
       G                      G7                 C
Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control
Am                  Em                 D/F#
But I see the light in oh so many things out here
       G        C         D/F#        C            G
And a lifetime gently now sits on the stairs to my home


[Chorus]

      C       G
We're running out
    Am     Em
But moving on
         C            D/F#  G
Into the days of our grace returning

G D/F# Em C

[Verse 2]

         G
And the dancer just turns
                                    D/F#
Until they spin fast enough for the biggest show
                      Em                   C
Take some pics of the afterglow then do it again

      G
I see stars in the sky
                                D/F#
And I wish they'd return to be in me now
                    Em
Make up for what I lack somehow
                    C
When it's all been too much


[Pre-Chorus]

Am                      Em               D/F#
All that I fear is that all that I have given you
      G                      G7                 C
Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control
Am                      Em         D/F#
But I see the light in oh so many things out here
       G            C         D/F#        C            G
And a lifetime so gently now sits on the stairs to my home


[Chorus]

       C      G
We're running out
    Am     Em
But moving on
         C            D/F#  G
Into the days of our grace returning

G D/F# Em C x2

[Bridge]

    Am     Em    D/F#
I'm curly to the bone
              G             C
But then you straighten me again
  Am     Em    D/F#
I carry you to bed
        G           C
Let the hours sweep away
             D/F#
Your day has been hard


[Verse 3]

       G
I will whisper to heal
                              D/F#
And not wake up the listening thoughts in me
                     Em
Their revealing dark poetry and this shadow
     C
They sell

         G
There is beauty out here
                                      D/F#
Like peculiar running styles some are wild
                      Em
And the breath on the other side of getting
C
Around


[Pre-Chorus]

Am                      Em              D/F#
All that I fear is that all that I have given you
      G                      G7                 C
The ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control
Am                      Em        D/F#
But I see the light in oh so many things out here
       G            C         D/F#        C            G
And a lifetime so gently now sits on the stairs to my home


[Chorus]

       C      G
We're running out
    Am     Em
But moving on
         C            D/F#  G
Into the days of our grace returning


[Outro]

       C      G
We're running out
    Am     Em
But moving on
         C           D/F#  Gmaj7
Into the days of our grace returning
