Em                            A 
A thousand cities in the      night 
Each one waitin' for the      light 
Ten million people plan their day 
As the sun still burns      a-way

Em                             A 
All the people in their        ties 
Forget to look up at the       sky 
They exist another             day 
As the sun still burns         a-way 

Em                              A 
I wonder just how long we'll    last 
When the final die is           cast 
Every day brings forth the      time 
When the sun forgets to         shine
