[Verse 1]

F C G

On a rooftop in Brooklyn

F C G

One in the morning

F C G

Watching the lights flash

F C G

In Manhattan

Am D C

I see five bridges

Am D C

The empire state building

F C G

And you said something

Am C G

That I've never forgotten

[Verse 2]

F C G

We lean against railings

F C G

Describing the colours

F C G

And the smells of our homelands

F C G

Acting like lovers

Am D C

How did we get here?

Am D C

To this point of living?

F C G

I held my breath

Am C G

And you said something

[Verse 3]

F C G

And I am doing nothing wrong

F C G

Riding in your car

F C G

Your radio playing

F C G

We sing up to the eighth floor

Am D C

A rooftop, in Manhattan

Am D C

One in the morning

F C G

When you said something

Am C G

That I've never forgotten

F C G

When you said something

F C G

When you said something

F C G

When you said something

Am C G

That was really important
