Capo: 2

This is based on the tab from Matthew Nordhaus, I made some changes that seem to make it play better IMHO. -- Capo 2nd Fret -- INTRO: D G A Bm G (x2)

I look straight in the ^Dwindow, ^A try not to look ^Bmbelow ^G Pretend I'm not ^Dup here, ^A I try counting ^Esheep ^G The sheep seem to ^Dshower, ^A off this off^Bmice tower ^G It's 9.8 ^Dstraight down, ^A I can't stop my ^Eknees. ^G

CHORUS:

I wish I could f^Bmly, from this ^Abuilding, from this ^Ewall. ^G And if I should ^Bmtry, would you ^Acatch me, if I f^Eall. ^G

My hands clench the^D squeegee, ^A a seclar ro^Bmsary ^G Hang onto your ^Dwallet, ^A hang onto your r^Eings. ^G I can't look^D below me, ^A something might^Bm throw me. ^G I curse at the ^Dwindstorms, ^A that October ^Ebrings. ^G

I look in the ^Dboardroom, ^A a modern Ph^Bmaraoh's tomb. ^G I'd gladly swap ^Dplaces, ^A if they care to ^Edive ^G They're lined up at^D the window^A, peer down i^Bmnto limb^Go Frightened of j^Dumping, ^A in case they ^Esurvive. ^G

I wish I could ^Gstep, from this scaf^Afold, Onto ^Bmsoft green grass and ^Eshopping malls, or b^Ged, with my ^Afamily, and my ^Bmpastor and my ^Agrandfather who's ^Edead. ^G

(softly) D A Bm G Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer

I look like a pa^Dinter, beh^Aind all the grease.^E ^G But painting's ^Dcreating, ^A and I'm just er^Bmasing ^G A crystal clear ^Dcanvas, ^A is my master^Epiece. ^G

CHORUS:

I wish I could f^Bmly, from this ^Abuilding, from this ^Ewall. ^G And if I should ^Bmtry, would you ^Acatch me, if I f^Eall. ^G I wish I could f^Bmly, from this ^Abuilding, from this ^Ewall. ^G And if I should ^Bmtry, would you ^Acatch me, if I f^Eall. ^G

When I ^Dfa^All^Bm...^G ^DWh^Aen^E I^G fall.... mmmmmm
