C#                        Ab
You were born inside of a raindrop
F#m                           C#
I watched you falling to your death
C#                             Ab
And the sun, well it could not save you
F#m                                   C#
It'd fallen down too, the streets are wet

C#                       Ab
Body of water, toxic and timeless
F#m                          C#
The Atlantic ocean, New York skyline
C#                                 Ab
I always get lost when I leave the village
F#m                                          C#
So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night

C#                      Ab
But I sing glory for my lowest
F#m                                   C#
And I will say peace to the people at me

C#                           Ab
While the world waits for an explosion
F#m                                        C#
That instant of life that wipes that slate clean



Bbm         Ab
So don't be fooled
Bbm         Ab
So don't be lied to
Fm       Bbm    Eb
Love was always cruel

Bbm       Ab
Don't act strange
Bbm        Ab
Don't be a stranger
Fm                          Bbm          Eb
It happened to me, now it's happening to you

F#7
But if you take that train underwater then we could talk it through

C# Ab F#m C#
C# Ab F#m C#

C#                             Ab
Well if I could tame all of my desires
F#m                                   C#
Wait out the weather that howls in my brain
C#                                Ab
Because it seems that it's always changing
F#m                                  C#
The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain

C#                        Ab
I was a postcard, I was a record
F#m                         C#
I was a camera until I went blind
C#                           Ab
Now I'm riding all over this island
F#m                              C#
Looking for something to open my eyes

C#                              Ab
Well we still sing glory from a highrise
F#m                                        C#
And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks
C#                           Ab
While the world waits for an explosion
F#m                                 C#
That moment in time when we are set free


Bbm           Ab
So don't stay mad
Bbm                Ab
Just let some time pass
Fm                             Bbm     Eb
And in the morning you'll wake feeling new

Bbm                 Ab
And if I don't come back
Bbm              Ab
I mean, if I get sidetracked
Fm                 Bbm    Eb
It's only 'cause I wanted to

F#7 
Keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
