Dm A
I see the city from my roof
A# A Dm
Scrape the sky and piss the moon.
A A#
I toss a brick and hit a bottle.
A Dm A
I used to have such a fiery soul
A# A Dm
Now it's full of cigarette holes.
A A# A
But scars tell better stories.
Gm Dm
You're just copper under water
Gm
Your hope is just a dream
A
Till you mix truth and purity.
Gm Dm
What a hell of a hangover
Gm
You won't find me under ground.
A
On the rooftops I'll be found.
Dm A
Well I'll spit on your fuse
A# A Dm
And twist you out under my shoe
A A#
Yeah go ahead and knock it down, child
A
It's nothing new.
Dm A
I'll just watch the buildings burn
A# A Dm
So wake me up when you've freed the earth.
A A#
You say I've sold my values
A Dm
Yeah, but you paid for the view.
Gm Dm
You're just copper under water
Gm
Your hope is just a dream
A
Till you mix truth and purity.
Gm Dm
What a hell of a hangover
Gm
You won't find me under ground.
A
On the rooftops I'll be found.
Dm A
I see the city from my roof
A# A Dm
Like a foreign land from a family room
A A# A
Oh, how I once detested it's abuse.
Dm A
Now the lights all look like stars
A# A Dm
And there's solice from afar.
A A#
I toss a smoke and watch it tumble
A Dm
Into the whisper of passing cars.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops lookin' down.
