#1. 
Dm    Em    F      C                  Bb 
Eight miles high...and when you touch down, 
F                       C             Bb 
you’ll find that it’s...stranger than known. 
Dm    Em     F       C                     Bb 
Signs in the street, that say where you’re going, 
F              C                Bb   Dm Em  Dm Em  
are somewhere, just being their own. 

#2. 
Dm  Em    F   C                  Bb 
No..where is, there warmth to be found, 
F                     C            Bb 
among those afraid of losing their ground. 
Dm   Em   F      C              Bb 
Mean gray town...known for it’s sound, 
F          C             Bb 
in places, small faces unbound. 

(LEAD GUITAR BREAK:) 

#3. 
Dm    Em  F        C          Bb 
Round the squares, huddled in storms.. 
F              C                   Bb 
some laughing, some just shapeless forms. 
Dm  Em   F       C              Bb 
Sidewalk scenes, and black limousines.. 
F            C             Bb    Dm Em F Em 
Some living, some standing alone.
