Capo 1
C G
You were born inside of a raindrop
F7(6) C
I watched you falling to your death
G
And the sun she could not save you
F7 C
She had fallen down too now the streets are wet
C G
Body of water, toxic and timeless
F7 C
Atlantic ocean, New York skyline
G
I always get lost when I leave the village
F7
So I couldn't come meet you
C
In Brooklyn last night
C G
But I still sing glory from my lowest
F7 C
And I will say peace to the people I meet
G
While the world waits for an explosion
F7 C
That instant of light that wipes that slate clean
C Am7/B
Am G
So don't be fooled
Am G
Don't get lied to
Em Am D G
Love was always cruel
Am G
Don't act strange
Am G
Don't be a stranger
Em Am D G
It happened to me, now it's happening to you
F
But if you take that train underwater
Then we could talk it through
C - G - F7 - C
C G
Well if I could tame all of my desires
F7 C
Wait out the weather that howls in my brain
G
Cause it seems that it's always changing
F7 C
The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain
C G
I was a postcard, I was a record
F7 C
I was a camera until I went blind
G
Now I'm riding all over this island
F7 C
Looking for something to open my eyes
C G
But we still sing glory from a highrise
F7 C
And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks
G
While the world waits for an explosion
F7 C
That moment in time when we’ll be set free
C Am7/B
Am G
So don't stay mad
Am G
Just let some time pass
Em Am D G
And in the morning you'll wake feeling new
Am G
And if I don't come back
Am G
I mean, if I get sidetracked
Em Am D G
It's only cause I wanted to
F
I am keeping up with the moon
On an all night avenue
C - G - F - C
C - G - F - C
