E E B B C#m C#m A A
I look straight in the window, try not to look below
E E B B F# F# A A
Pretend I'm not up here, I try counting sheep
E E B B C#m C#m A A
The sheep seem to shower, off this office tower
E E B B F# F# A A
It's 9.8 straight down, I can't stop my knees.

CHORUS:
C#m C#m B B F# F# A A
I wish I could fly, from this building, from this wall.
C#m C#m B B F# F# A A
And if I should try, would you catch me, if I fall.

E E B B C#m C#m A A
My hands clench the squeegee, a seclar rosary
E E B B F# F# A A
Hang onto your wallet, hang onto your rings.
E E B B C#m C#m A A
I can't look below me, something might throw me.
E E B B F# F# A A
I curse at the windstorms, that October brings.

E E B B C#m C#m A A
I look in the boardroom, a modern Pharaoh's tomb.
E E B B F# F# A A
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
E E B B C#m C#m A A
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
E E B B F# F# A A
Frightened of jumping, in case they survive.

A A B B
I wish I could step, from this scaffold,
C#m C#m F# F#
Onto soft green grass and shopping malls,
A A B B C#m C#m B B
or bed, with my family, and my pastor and my grandfather
F# F# A A
who's dead.

(softly) E E B B C#m C#m A A
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
E E B B F# F# A A
I look like a painter, behind all the grease.
E E B B C#m C#m A A
But painting's creating, and I'm just erasing
E E B B F# F# A A
B B crystal clear canvas, is my masterpiece.


CHORUS:
C#m C#m B B F# F# A A
I wish I could fly, from this building, from this wall.
C#m C#m B B F# F# A A
And if I should try, would you catch me, if I fall.
C#m C#m B B F# F# A A
I wish I could fly, from this building, from this wall.
C#m C#m B B F# F# A A
And if I should try, would you catch me, if I fall.

E E B B C#m C#m A A E E B B F# F# A A
When I fall... When I fall.... mmmmmm
