G                                 
I stepped out the front door into 
        C                          
winter and the world outside
 G      C

C                                 
I stepped out the door to New York
                             G     
 City, my hair was barely dry
 C

B                              
I could not remember where I was 
      A                          G
going, so I went back inside
      C      G      C



G                                 
Nothing happening in the elevator,
   C                               
 nothing happening on the stairs
 G      C

C                           
Nothing ever happen when I am 
                             G    
sleeping, I cannot stay there
C      G      C

B                                 
How'd you find a party when you're
          C
 in your room
A                                 
How'd you find the action man, the
                      G      C    
 action is everywhere
  G      C


G                                 
If you decide to climb outside 
                C                  
your bedroom window, paint a 
  G     C
picture on a cloud
C
Oh if you decide that you can't hide
 inside your mind
                                G  
Provide the slide to get you out
    C

Feels just like you're falling and
          C
 you're going down
A                                 
But everybody loves you when you 
hit the ground
