G C Am F G C
                              G  C
Something's frying   

                              G  C
On the floor below               

                              G  F
I'm leaning out 

                              G  C
Of my window             

                              G  C
The sky's on fire           

                                     G  C
The streets all aglow           

                                        G  F
And somebody's singing 

                     G  
To the radio         

G                      C
I would jump from the sixteenth floor

Am                  F
If I only could get next to you        

G                C
Put my head in a lions jaw

Am                  F                                         G  C
If I only could get next to you next to you     

                                    G  C
I'm walking the floor 

                                    G  C
I'm climbing the walls

                                           G  F
I wake up from dreaming

                             G
That's when I fall   

G                     C
I would jump from the sixteenth floor

Am                  F
If I only could get next to you        

G                C
Put my head in a lions jaw

Am                  F
If I only could get next to you next to you 

G                C
Take a ride on a wrecking ball       

Am                 F
Yes I would darling                      

Dm          G
Every day I speak your name          

Dm                 G
If I had wings I'd fly          

Dm              
'Cause you're not here to hold me             

G                     C
I would jump from the sixteenth floor

Am                  F
If I only could get next to you        

G                C
Put my head in a lions jaw

Am                  F
If I only could get next to you next to you 

G                C
Take a ride on a wrecking ball       

Am                 F
Yes I would darling                      

Dm          G
Every day I speak your name          

Dm                 G
If I had wings I'd fly          

Dm              
There's no one here to hold me         
Funky Instrumental Bit - Mostly C and G I think
G           C            Am  F
I'd walk on burning coal                               

G           C            Am  F
I'd sell my only soul

G           C                           Am  F
I would jump from the sixteenth floor

G           C                    Am  F
Put my head in a lions jaw (yes I would)                                    

G           C                 Am  F
Take a ride on Niagara Falls                                    

G           C                   Am  F
Over broken glass I would crawl
Ad lib - fade - or a quick G C like through the song is a good way to wrap up quickly My second tab - happy for feedback [email protected]
