Verse 1 
G5      C5             
      Some things frying       
G5      C5       
      On the floor below 
G5      C5 
      I'm leaning out  
G5      F5 
      My window 
 
Verse 2 same pattern 
 
The sky's on fire 

The streets all a glow 

Somebody's singing  

To the radio 
 
Chorus 1 
G5                    C5 
I would jump from the 16th floor 
A5              F5 
If only to get next to you 
G5              C5 
Put my head in a lion's jaw 
A5              F5 
If i only could get next to you 
 
Verse 3 

I'm walking the floor 

I'm climbing the walls 

I wake up from dreaming 

That's when I fall 
 
Chorus 2 

I would jump from the 16th floor 

If only to get next to you 

Put my head in a lion's jaw 

If I only could get next to you 

Take a ride on a wrecking ball 

Yes I would darling 
 
Bridge 1 
D5    A5  G5 
Everyday I speak your name 
D5   A5                  G5 
If I had wings I would fly 
D5                    A5      F5 
Cause your'e not here to hold me 
 
Chorus 3 
G5                    C5              A5            F5  
I would jump from the 16th floor                   Oooooh      Oooooh Oooooh 

Put my head in a lion's jaw                                    "           "          
" 
I would walk on burning coal                             "           "          " 

I'd sell my only soul                                 "           "            " 
 
Bridge 2 (as before) 

Everyday I speak your name 

If I had wings I'd fly 

Cause your'e not here to hold me
