Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  the shadows of  tall buildings
Of  fallen angels on  the ceilings
Oily  feathers and  bronzen concrete
Faded  colors, pieces  left incomplete
The  light moves slowly  past the electric  fence
Across  the borders between  continents
In  the Cathedrals of  New York and Rome
There  is a feeling that  you should just go home
And  spend the lifetime finding  out just where that is
 In the shadows of tall buildings
 The architecture is slowly peeling
 Marble statues and glass dividers
 Someone is watching all of the outsiders
 The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
 Past the mosaic of the Head of State
 In the Cathedrals of New York and Rome
 There is a feeling that you should just go home
 And spend the lifetime finding out just where that is
 In the shadows of tall buildings
 Of open arches and lessly knealing
 Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
 Someone is listening from a safe distance
 The line moves slowly into the fading light
 A final moment in the dead of night
 In the Cathedrals of New York and Rome
 There is a feeling that you should just go home
And  spend the lifetime finding  out just where that is
 In the Cathedrals of New York and Rome
 There is a feeling that you should just go home
 And spend the lifetime finding out just where that is
