Empty Streets

Am       G7        C            F
Remember when the nights had no end
   Fmaj7              E7    Am
The moon was made for us to keep
Am         G7                C
The winter came the cold the rain
           F
And we did not complain
Fmaj7            E7
We had our empty streets
    C      G
And that's why

C                      E7
I wish I could build a world for you
C                     E7
I wish I could wish a world for you
    C                         E7
And give your everything your heart 
desires

   Am    G      C         F9    
As everyone you know will tell 
    E7
you, tell you

Am         G7             C
Before the days could get away
                F
We trapped them in out sleep
Fmaj7         E7        Am
So they could never leave
Am             G7
The years were scared,
      C           F
Never dared lay a hand on us
Fmaj7            E7
Time was ours to keep

Am       G7       C             F
Remember when the nights had no end
    Fmaj7           E7      Am
And life was all we had to eat
Am           G7                  C
We stole the clocks and hid them all
         F
Behind a crooked lock
Fmaj7              E7
And kept out empty streets
    C      G
And that's why

C                      E7
I wish I could build a world for you
C                     E7
I wish I could wish a world for you
    C                         E7
And give your everything your heart 
desires
   Am    G      C         F9    
As everyone you know will tell 
    E7
you, tell you
