C Cmaj7 D/C
C D/C
in the shadows of tall buildings
Gmaj7 C
of fallen angels on the ceilings
D/C
oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Gmaj7 E7/G#
faded colors, peices left incomplete
Am D/F#
the line moves slowly past the electric fence
G E7
across the borders between continents
Chorus:
Am D/F#
in the cathedrals of new york and rome
G C
there is a feeling that you should just go home
Am D/F#
and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
{pattern 1}
in the shadows of tall buildings
the architecture is slowly peeling
marble statues and glass dividers
someone is watching all of the outsiders
the line moves slowly through the numbered gate
past the mosaic of the head of state
{Chorus}
{pattern 1} 2x
in the shadows of tall buildings
of open arches endlessly kneeling
sonic landscapes echoing vistas
someone is listening from a safe distance
the line moves slowly into a fading light
a final moment in the dead of night
{Chorus}
E7
{Chorus}
{pattern 1 with humming}
