G                 D                 C
Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow
G                 D              C
Kaleidoscope of loud, heartbeats under coats

But they never blind me (me)

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
G               D                C
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer
G         D                C
Everybody here was someone else before
            G            D
And you can want who you want

Boys and boys and girls and girls
