Intro
[C]
Verse 1
You were [C]born inside of a [G]raindrop
And I watched you [Fm]falling to your [C]death
And the [C]sun, well she could not [G]save you
She'd fallen [Fm]down too, now the streets [C]are wet
Body of [C]water, toxic and [G]timeless
Atlantic [Fm]Ocean, New York [C]skyline
I always get [C]lost when I leave the [G]village
So I couldn't come [Fm]meet you in Brooklyn last [C]night
Chorus
But I sing [C]glory from my [G]lowest
And I will say [Fm]peace to the people I [C]meet
While the [C]world waits for an [G]explosion
That instant of [Fm]life that wipes that [C]slate [C]clean[C/B]
Bridge
[Am] So don't be [G]fooled
[Am] So don't get [G]lied to
[Em]Love was [Am]always [D7]cruel[G]
[Am] And don't act [G]strange
[Am] Don't be a [G]stranger
It [Em]happened to me, now it's [Am]happening to [D7]you[G]
But if you take that [Fm]train underwater then we could talk it through

Verse 2
Well, if I could [C]tame all of my [G]desires
Wait out the [Fm]weather that howls in my [C]brain
Because it [C]seems that it's always[G] changing
The wind's [Fm]indecision, the sorrowful [C]rain
Yeah, I was a [C]postcard, I was a [G]record
I was a [Fm]camera until I went[C] blind
And now I am [C]riding all over this[G] island
Looking for [Fm]something to open my[C] eyes
Chorus
But I still sing[C] glory from a [G]high rise
And I will say [Fm]thanks if you're pouring my[C] drinks
While the [C]world waits for an [G]explosion
That moment in [Fm]time when we'll be set[C] [C]free[C/B]
Bridge
[Am] So don't stay [G]mad
[Am] Just let some [G]time pass
And in the [Em]morning you'll wake [Am]feeling [D7]new[G]
[Am] And if I don't come [G]back, I mean...
[Am] If I get [G]sidetracked
It's [Em]only 'cause I [Am]wanted [D7]to[G]
I'm keeping [Fm]up with the moon on an all night avenue
Outro
