Verse:
Dm C Am G
He’ll need some time to get over this
Dm C F
But a moment is all he can spare
Dm C Am G
His buddies out there in the city lights
Dm C F
and he is trying to care
F C Dm C
See him offering himself to the world
Am G
Staring down from the 56th floor
Dm C Dm C
I’d be happy just to catch him again
Am G
We go out we don’t always come back
Dm C Am G
The night pressing in on his weary mind
Dm C F
there’s a half eaten moon in the sky
Dm C Am G
nothing is calling him back to bed
Dm C F
and no-one is saying goodbye
F C Dm C
See him offering himself to the world
Am G
Staring down from the 56th floor
Dm C Dm C
I’d be happy just to catch him again
Am
we go out because we go
D/F# F D/F# F D/F#
back and back and back and back and back
G Am Em F G Am Em F
F C Dm C
See him offering himself to the world
Am G
Staring down from the 56th floor
Dm C Dm C
He’s not happy it’s the weekend again
Am G
We go out we don’t always come back
F C Dm C
See him offering himself to the world
Am G
Staring down from the 56th floor
Dm C Dm C
I’d be happy just to catch him again
Am
we go out because we go
D/F# F D/F# F D/F#
back and back and back and back and back
F C Dm C
See him offering himself to the world
Am
Staring down…
