INTRO RE SOL LA SIm RE/FA# SOL (x2)
RE SOL LA SIm RE/FA# SOL
I look straight in the window, try not to look below
RE SOL LA MI SOL
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
SIm LA MI SOL
I wish I could fly, from this building, from this wall.
SIm LA MI SOL
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.
SOL LA
And I wish I could step, from this scaffold,
SIm RE/FA# MI SOL
Onto soft green grass and shopping malls,
SOL LA SIm LA RE
And bed, and my family, and my pastor and my grandfather
MI SOL
Whose dead.
