INTRO: D G A Bm D/F# G (x2)
D G A Bm D/F# G
I look straight in the window try not to look below
D G A E G
Pretend I'm not up here I try counting sheep
The sheep seem to shower off this office tower
It's 9 straight down I can't stop my knees
CHORUS:
Bm A E G
I wish I could fly from this building from this wall
Bm A E G
And if I should try would you catch me if I fall
My hands clench the squeegee a seclar rosary
Hang onto your wallet hand onto your rings
I can't look below me something might throw me
I curse at the windstorms that October brings
I look in the boardroom a modern Pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places if they care to dive
They line up at the window peer down into limbo
Frightened of jumping in case they survive
G A
And I wish I could step from this scaffold
Bm D/F# E G
Onto soft green grass and shopping malls
G A Bm A D
And bed and my family and my pastor and my grandfather
E G
Whose dead
Look straight in the mirror watch it come clearer
I look like a painter behind all the grease
But painting's creating and I'm just erasing
A crystal clear canvas is my masterpiece
CHORUS x2
If I fall repeat
