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


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


Chorus 2:
F    G Em         Am
  War  all of the time
       G/B           C         F
In the shadow of the New York skyline
               G    Em       Am
We grew up too fast falling apart
         G/B       C       F
Like the ashes of American flags


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


(Repeat Chorus 2)


Verse 3:
           G
The pieces fall it?s 
                  Am
like a last day parade
        C
And the fires in our 
                 F
streets start to rage
                G
so wave, to the people 
     Em      Am
that long to wave back
         G/B         C
from the fabric of a flag 
           F   G Em     Am       G/B C F(hold)
that sang "love  all of the time"
