G            C            Am            F  
 

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

The streets all a glow 

Somebody's singing  

To the radio 
 
Chorus 1 
G                    C 
I would jump from the 16th floor 
Am              F 
If only to get next to you 
G              C 
Put my head in a lion's jaw 
Am              F 
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 
Dm    Am  G 
Everyday I speak your name 
Dm   Am                  G 
If I had wings I would fly 
Dm                    Am      F 
Cause your'e not here to hold me 
 
Chorus 3 
G                    C              Am            F  
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
