Paul Kelly (Australia) - Song from the sixteenth floor

Something's frying ^{G C} On the floor below ^{G C} I'm leaning out ^{G F} Of my window ^{G C}

The sky's on fire ^{G C} The streets all aglow ^{G C} And somebody's singing ^{G F} To the radio ^G

^GI would jump from the s^Cixteenth floor ^AmIf I only could get ^Fnext to you ^GPut my head in a ^Clions jaw ^AmIf I only could get ^Fnext to you next to you ^{G C}

I'm walking the floor ^{G C} I'm climbing the walls ^{G C} I wake up from dreaming ^{G F} That's when I fall ^G

^GI would jump from the ^Csixteenth floor ^AmIf I only could get ^Fnext to you ^GPut my head in a ^Clions jaw ^AmIf I only could get ^Fnext to you next to you ^GTake a ride on a ^Cwrecking ball ^AmYes I would darling^{F Dm}Every day I ^Gspeak your name ^DmIf I had wings I'd ^Gfly ^Dm'Cause you're not here to hold me

^GI would jump from the ^Csixteenth floor ^AmIf I only could get ^Fnext to you ^GPut my head in a ^Clions jaw ^AmIf I only could get ^Fnext to you next to you ^GTake a ride on a ^Cwrecking ball ^AmYes I would darling^{F Dm}Every day I ^Gspeak your name ^DmIf I had wings I'd ^Gfly ^DmThere's no one here to hold me

^GI'd walk on ^Cburning coal ^{Am F G}I'd sell my ^Conly soul ^{Am F G}I would jump^C from the sixteenth floor ^{Am F G}Put my head ^Cin a lions jaw (yes I^Am wou^Fld) ^GTake a ride ^Con Niagara Falls ^{Am F G}Over broken ^Cglass I would crawl ^{Am F}
