  CAPO 2 Chords indicated as capoed, not as absolute pitch)

  

  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 9.8 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)
