[Intro]
Em F#m/E G/E
 
[Verse]
Em F#m7 G D C
Eight miles high and when you touch down
G D C C6 C C6
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Em F#m7 G D C
Signs in the street that say where you're going
G D C C6 C C6
Are somewhere just being their own
 
[Instrumental]
Em F#m7 Em F#m7
 
[Chorus]
Em F#m7 G D C
No-where is there warmth to be found
G D C C6 C C6
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Em F#m7 G D C
Rain grey town known for its sound
G D C C6 C C6
In places, small faces unbound
 
[Instrumental]
Em F#m/E G/E
 
[Chorus 2]
Em F#m7 G D C
Round the squares, huddled in storms
G D C C6 C C6
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Em F#m7 G D C
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
G D C C6 C C6
Some living, some standing alone
