A                  C#m          E      A 
  It's lonely at the top of the upside mountain 
          Bm             D          A         E 
Watch the sunrise from a windowless room 
A                   C#m      E            A 
  If the Paramedics stop the soul goes on without them  
     Bm            D         E 
In a wicker basket tied to a balloon 


Bm             E             A 
   There are no boundaries to love 
Bm                 E              A   F#  F#m D

A                  C#m             E          A 
  I took it on the chin from some second hand feeling 
       Bm             D                A       E 
Sorrow handed down to me it felt brand new 
A         C#m          E              A 
  Tiny violins or some summer insects listening 
Bm             D              E 
Another season leaving us too soon 


Bm              E           A 
   Freedom's the opposite of love 
Bm              E                   A   F#  F#m  D 
   You'll never keep it through the pa- ra- noi- a

   Standing on the edge of a million landscapes emptying and the 
Bm             D                A        E 
water from the glacier fills my shoes 
A                 C#m    E                  A 
   Laying in your bed my dreams are sex and violence 
  Bm               D             E 
I chase the rapist chasing after you 


Bm             E          A 
   There is no dignity in love 
Bm             E                 A   F#  F#m D

A                                  D 
   'Til then I'm walking out the door 
A                                    D
