[Verse]
Em    F#m7  G    D                  C
Eight miles high and when you touch down
G                     D             C     C6 C C6
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Em    F#m7   G     D                      C
Signs in the street that say where you're going
G             D                C   C6 C C6
Are somewhere just being their own

[Instrumental]
Em F#m7 Em F#m7

[Chorus]
Em F#m7  G  D                C
No-where is there warmth to be found
G            D               C     C6   C  C6
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Em   F#m7 G    D          C
Rain grey town known for its sound
G          D            C   C6 C C6
In places, small faces unbound

[Instrumental]
Em F#m/E G/E

[Chorus 2]
Em   F#m7 G        D         C
Round the squares, huddled in storms
G              D                   C    C6 C C6
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Em  F#m7 G      D            C
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
G            D              C    C6 C C6
Some living, some standing alone
