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