Verse I
D	A       	
(9      Has our conscience shown?
bars)	Has the sweet breeze blown?
	Has all the kindness gone?
	Hope still lingers on.
	I drink myself of newfound pity
	Sitting alone in New York City.
	And I don't know why.

Verse II

D	A	 	  
	Are we listening?
	Hymns of offering
	Have we eyes to see
	That love is gathering?
	
	A
	All the words that I've been reading
	Have now started the act of bleeding
	
	G
	Into one....Into one.

CHORUS

D		       A
	So I walk upon high
			  G
	And I step to the edge
			D
	To see my world below.
		         A	
	And I laugh at myself
			     C
	While the tears roll down.
				G
	'Cause it's the world I know.
			 D
	It's the world I know.

VERSE III 

I drink myself of newfound pity
Sittin alone in New York City.
And I don't know why.
Don't know why.

CHORUS 
So I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
to see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.x2

at the end when the symphony kicks in, Childress (i think) is 
arpeggiating a D, and throwing in the 4th sometimes (Dsus4)

and the song ends on a Dsus4...
