C You told us that Em We were too young F Now that night's closing in Dm And in the half light, we run C Lock us up safe Em And hide the key F But the night tears us loose Dm And in the half light, we're free Strange how the half light Can make a place new You can’t recognize me And I can’t recognize you We run through these streets That we know so well And the houses hide so much But in the half light G None of us can tell C They hide the ocean in a shell G C G The ocean in a shell F Our heads are just houses Dm Without enough windows F You say you hear human voices G C But they're only echoes G C They're only echoes G C They're only echoes G C Only echoes C G We are not asleep, we are in the streets C G We are not asleep, we are in the streets C G C We are not asleep, we are in the streets You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
