INTRO: Cm Dm D# Dm 

#1. 
Cm    Dm    D#      A#                  G# 
Eight miles high...and when you touch down, 
D#                       A#             G# 
you’ll find that it’s...stranger than known. 
Cm    Dm     D#       A#                     G# 
Signs in the street, that say where you’re going, 
D#              A#                G#   Cm Dm  Cm Dm  
are somewhere, just being their own. 

#2. 
Cm  Dm    D#   A#                  G# 
No..where is, there warmth to be found, 
D#                     A#            G# 
among those afraid of losing their ground. 
Cm   Dm   D#      A#              G# 
Mean gray town...known for it’s sound, 
D#          A#             G# 
in places, small faces unbound. 

(LEAD GUITAR BREAK:) 

#3. 
Cm    Dm  D#        A#          G# 
Round the squares, huddled in storms.. 
D#              A#                   G# 
some laughing, some just shapeless forms. 
Cm  Dm   D#       A#              G# 
Sidewalk scenes, and black limousines.. 
D#            A#             G#    Cm Dm D# Dm 
Some living, some standing alone.
