From The Rooftops

           Dm           A
I see the city from my roof
Bb         A                  Dm
Scrape the sky and pierce the moon.
           A                Bb
I toss a brick and hit a bottle.
A          Dm                A
I used to have such a fiery soul
Bb        A                 Dm
Now it's full of cigarette holes.
           A                Bb  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
Bb            A             Dm
And twist you out under my shoe
         A                  Bb
Yeah go ahead and knock it down, 
child
A
It's nothing new.

           Dm                  A
I'll just watch the buildings burn
Bb         A                     
So wake me up when you've freed 
    Dm
the earth.
    A                  Bb
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
Bb              A                 
Like a foreign land from a family 
 Dm
room
    A           Bb       A
Oh, how I once detested it's abuse.

          Dm                  A
Now the lights all look like stars
Bb           A           Dm
And there's solice from afar.
          A                  Bb
I toss a smoke and watch it tumble
          A                  Dm
Into the whisper of passing cars.

Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops lookin' down.
