=================================================================
Intro:
Bm7     D6    G9               A9 (4x)

Verse 1:
Bm7     D6         G9                   A9 
        Has our conscience shown?
Bm7     D6         G9                   A9
        Has the sweet breeze blown?
Bm7     D6         G9                   A9
        Has all the kindness gone?
Bm7     D6         G9                      
        Hope still lingers on.
Pre-Chorus:
A
        I drink myself of newfound pity
A
        Sitting alone in New York City.
              G
        And I don't know why.

Bridge:
Bm7     D6     G9               A9 (2x)

Verse 2: 
Bm7     D6     G9               A9
        Are we listening?
Bm7     D6     G9               A9
        Hymns of offering
Bm7     D6     G9               A9
        Have we eyes to see?
Bm7     D6     G9                
        That love is gathering? 
        A
        All the words that I've been reading
        A
        Have now started the act of bleeding
        G
        Into one....Into one.
Chorus:
D                      A        
        So I walk upon high
                          G
        And I step to the edge
                          D     D4, D, D2, D  
        To see my world below.
D                        A
        And I laugh at myself
                             G
        While the tears roll down.
                                C9
        'Cause it's the world I know. 
                            D                   
        Oh It's the world I know.
