      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

We lean against railings
Describing the colours
And the smells of our homelands
Acting like lovers
How did we get here?
To this point in living?
I held my breath
And you said something

And I am doing nothing wrong
Riding in your car
Your radio playing
We sing up to the eighth floor
A rooftop, Manhattan
One in the morning
When you said something
That I've never forgotten

You said something
You said something
You said something
That was really important
