Key: D
Introduction:
Dm A
I see the city from my roof
A# A Dm
Scrape the sky and piss the moon.
A A#
I toss a brick and hit a bottle.
A Dm A
I used to have such a fiery soul
A# A Dm
Now it's full of cigarette holes.
A A# A
But scars tell better stories.
Gm Dm
You're just copper under water
Gm
Your hope is just a dream
A
Till you mix truth and purity.
Gm Dm
What a hell of a hangover
Gm
You won't find me under ground.
A
On the rooftops I'll be found.
Dm A
Well I'll spit on your fuse
A# A Dm
And twist you out under my shoe
A A#
Yeah go ahead and knock it down, child
A
It's nothing new.
Dm A
I'll just watch the buildings burn
A# A Dm
So wake me up when you've freed the earth.
A A#
You say I've sold my values
A Dm
Yeah, but you paid for the view.
Gm Dm
You're just copper under water
Gm
Your hope is just a dream
A
Till you mix truth and purity.
Gm Dm
What a hell of a hangover
Gm
You won't find me under ground.
A
On the rooftops I'll be found.
Dm A
I see the city from my roof
A# A Dm
Like a foreign land from a family room
A A# A
Oh, how I once detested it's abuse.
Dm A
Now the lights all look like stars
A# A Dm
And there's solice from afar.
A A#
I toss a smoke and watch it tumble
A Dm
Into the whisper of passing cars.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
