(stars denote to use the specified voicing
to play it the way he does live
don't bother worrying about anything starred in the tab beyond the B*)

{section: Intro}
[E]  [B]  [F#/B]  [E5]

[E]I live on the second [B]floor
Of an [F#]old[B] row house down in [E5]Baltimore
[E]Watching all the colors and [B]the shapes
[F#]Sta[B]nding tall up [E5]here

M[E5]y face against the window
[E]Oooo[B]oooO[F#]ooO[B]ooo[E]Ooo
([E]*)
My face against the window
[E]Oooo[B]oooO[F#]ooO[B]ooo[E]Ooo

[B]

[E]These moments, they can never l[B]ast
Like a sad o[F#]ld [B]man with his [E5]photographs
[E]Keeps wishing for the things he cannot [B]change
[F#]Sta[B]nding tall up here[E5]

M[E5]y face against the window
[E]Oooo[B]oooO[F#]ooO[B]ooo[E]Ooo
([E]*)
My face against the window
[E]Oooo[B]oooO[F#]ooO[B]ooo[E]Ooo

[B]

[B]So the architects and the[A] engineers
[G#min]Build their monuments, [F#]make their souvenirs
[B]We are occupants
It's a [A]trap, this town
We are [G#min]burning up
We are [F#]fading out
[B]We are shooting stars

[that's my arrangement of how it would go chord-wise, what's really being
played during the bridge is tabbed below (strumming not shown…just follow
the progression above for guidance)]

{sot}e-------------2-|
B-4---4---4---2-|
G-4---4---4---3-|
D-4---4---4---4-|
A-2---x---x---4-|
E-----5---4---2-|{eot}
      ^   ^
    use your thumb on the E string for these two

**This is played throughout the background of the bridge, and is most noticeable
during the 'shooting stars line. To get the riff going throughout the bridge with one
guitar just keep adding alternations between the 4th and 5th fret on B (as shown
below) to the chords used in the transcribed version of the bridge above.
