Verse 1:
F5          G5      E5
  Standing on the edge of 
    A5
the palisades cliffs
In the shadow of the 
 F5           G5    E5
skyline very far away
  A5                 D5
A lightning rod that couldn?t
pull the storm from me
F5               G5
  I was 5 years old my best 
              A5
friends older brother died
   G5
He fell from these cliffs
    F5
The river washed him away the 
G5                  E5
current pulled him downstream
        A5
And our lives float in the 
D5              F5
headlines so we parked 
             E5
these cars Parent?s garage
              A5
Listen to the lullaby
   G5              F(hold)
Of Carbon Monoxide


Chorus 1:
F5    G5 E5         A5
  War  all of the time
       G5           C5         F5
In the shadow of the New York skyline
               G5    E5       A5
We grew up too fast falling apart
         G5       C5       F5
Like the ashes of American flags
                G5
The sun doesn?t rise
     E5
We replaced it with 
   A5
an h-bomb explosion
  D5                   F5
A painted jail cell of blood in 
       E5
the sky like Three Mile Island
A5
Nightmares on TV they 
        G5
used to sing us to sleep
          F5             E5
They burn on and on like an oil field
     A5                D5
Or a memory of what it felt like
        F5                     E5
To burn on and on and not just fade away
          A5
All those nights in the basement
    G5
the kids are still screaming
F(Hold)
On and on and on and on


Chorus 2:
F5    G5 E5         A5
  War  all of the time
       G5           C5         F5
In the shadow of the New York skyline
               G5    E5       A5
We grew up too fast falling apart
         G5       C5       F5
Like the ashes of American flags


Verse 2:
C5 E5        A5             D5
  And we?re blowing in the wind
         F5             C5
We don?t know where to land
      A5               D5
So we kiss like little kids
           F5            C5
We used to be very tall buildings
E5         A5          D5
We?ve been falling for so long
         F5
Now your eyes follow the 
           C5        E5
sign on the edge of town
     A5
They offer a welcome 
G5                   F(hold)
when you are leaving


(Repeat Chorus 2)


Verse 3:
           G5
The pieces fall it?s 
                  A5
like a last day parade
        C5
And the fires in our 
                 F5
streets start to rage
                G5
so wave, to the people 
     E5      A5
that long to wave back
         G5         C5
from the fabric of a flag 
           F5   G5 E5     A5       G5 C5 F(hold)
that sang "love  all of the time"
