[Verse 1]
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Had a piggybank like a lion's head
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Knocked it off the shelf, broke down by the bed
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Pennies from a skyscraper can kill
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
I've lined up my change on the window sill
[Chorus]
F#5 G#5 D5 A5 F#5
Watched for hours people down below
B5 A5 E5
The wind has frozen my eyes
F#5 G#5 D5 A5 F#5
Lost the courage, could not push them off
B5 A5 E5
Pulled my head inside
[Verse 2]
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Let a winter pass laying in bed
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
My coins have frozen to the window sill
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Walked the shadowed streets in a happy fear
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Looking up for change shining through the air
[Chorus]
F#5 G#5 D5 A5 F#5
Watched for hours buildings fall through clouds
B5 A5 E5
The wind has frozen my eyes
F#5 G#5 D5 A5 F#5
Lost the courage, could not hold them up
B5 A5 E5
Fell asleep on a bench
[Outro]
C#5 D5 A#5 A5
Pennies from a skyscraper can kill
