We're Already There
CQuarter MGoon,
On a cB7ity growing tEmhick
CWith good adGvice that won't stB7ick.
From the bEmallrooms to the subDurbs,
abanCdoned mines
AtlaCntis may be rising but
We're B7all out of time.
ThCe colored liGghts
On B7the fire escEmape,
And bCodies move Gbehind drB7apes,
AnEmd the light iDsn't even
AnCd we're safer in pairs.
WeC're no match, for what is waiting
For eB7ach of us out there.
WhisGtle baby, whiCmle we walk.
Don't sGay anything, do Cmnot talk.
ThCe journey is oGver, it is Amtime to exGhale.
WCherever wGe were going, we'rDe already there.
So over the turnstyles,
Through the guard rails
And into Washington Square.
'Cause no amount of nightmares,
Will ever compare
To the thought of only silence
In this ghost-filled air.
Whistle baby, while we walk.
Don't say anything, do not talk.
The journey is over, it's too late to prepare.
Why can't you see that baby, we're already there.
Here comes your silhouette,
More pillow talk.
Here comes the ticking of these clocks.
They say the quickest way to end
A war is just to lose.
Another chamber locks
And I already withdrew.
Here comes the booming,
In the hunger of each night.
Here comes the burden of might.
Now this day was not divinely
Made to leave you impressed.
We may become someone someday
But we haven't yet.
Whistle baby, while we walk.
Don't say anything, do not talk.
The journey is over, it is time to repair.
Whatever we were building..... baby We're Already There.
.....We're Already There.
.....We're Already There.
.....We're Already There.

We're Already There

C G

Quarter Moon,

B7 Em

On a city growing thick

C G B7

With good advice that won't stick.

Em D

From the ballrooms to the suburbs,

abandoned mines

Atlantis may be rising but

We're all out of time.

C G

The colored lights

B7 Em

On the fire escape,

C G B7

And bodies move behind drapes,

Em D

And the light isn't even

And we're safer in pairs.

We're no match, for what is waiting

For each of us out there.

G Cm

Whistle baby, while we walk.

G Cm

Don't say anything, do not talk.

C G Am G

The journey is over, it is time to exhale.

C G D

Wherever we were going, we're already there.

So over the turnstyles,

Through the guard rails

And into Washington Square.

'Cause no amount of nightmares,

Will ever compare

To the thought of only silence

In this ghost-filled air.

Whistle baby, while we walk.

Don't say anything, do not talk.

The journey is over, it's too late to prepare.

Why can't you see that baby, we're already there.

Here comes your silhouette,

More pillow talk.

Here comes the ticking of these clocks.

They say the quickest way to end

A war is just to lose.

Another chamber locks

And I already withdrew.

Here comes the booming,

In the hunger of each night.

Here comes the burden of might.

Now this day was not divinely

Made to leave you impressed.

We may become someone someday

But we haven't yet.

Whistle baby, while we walk.

Don't say anything, do not talk.

The journey is over, it is time to repair.

Whatever we were building..... baby We're Already There.

.....We're Already There.
