Capo on 4th fret.
C G Am F
F C G Am F
I look straight in the window, try not to look below
C G D F
Pretend I'm not up here, I try counting sheep
C G Am F
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
C G D F
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees
[Chorus]
Am
I wish I could fly
G
From this building
D F
From this wall
Am
And if I should try
G D F
Would you catch me if I fall?
C G Am F
My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
C G D F
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
C G Am F
Can't look below me; something might throw me
C G D F
Curse at the windstorms that October brings
C G Am F
I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
C G D F
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
C G Am F
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
C G D F
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive
Am G
I wish I could step from this scaffold
Em F Am
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
G Em Am D F
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead
C G Am F
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
C G D F
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
C G Am F
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
C G D F
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
[Chorus 2x]
C G Am F
When I fall
C G Am F
When I fall
C G Am F C
When I... ooommm
