[Verse]
Em
Climbing up on the scaffolding
Cmaj7
Two hundred feet off the ground
Em D/F#
Painting dreams on the side of the building
D
But don’t ever look down
Em
Sparrows deserted playground
Cmaj7 C
Stories burst at the seams
Em
Wide open, closed to the public
D/F#
On display for no one to see
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
The city is sleep walking
D C
Having a ball
G Em
Denizens hide in the shadows
D C
While the kids from the burbs do the pub crawl
N.C. Em
And there’s nobody looking when they fall

Mangled malt liquor cans

Needles and remnants of chalk lines

No looking for next of kin
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
The city is sleep walking
D C
Having a ball
G Em
Denizens hide in the shadows
D C
While the kids from the burbs do the pub crawl
