Strum
D-DU-UDU
Something's frying
On the floor below
I'm leaning out
Of my window
The sky's on fire
The streets all aglow
And somebody's singing
To the radio
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lions jaw
If I only could get next to you next to you
I'm walking the floor
I'm climbing the walls
I wake up from dreaming
That's when I fall
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lions jaw
If I only could get next to you next to you
Take a ride on a wrecking ball
Yes I would darling
Every day I speak your name
If I had wings I'd fly
'Cause you're not here to hold me
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
If I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lions jaw
If I only could get next to you next to you
Take a ride on a wrecking ball
Yes I would darling
Every day I speak your name
If I had wings I'd fly
There's no one here to hold me
Funky Instrumental Bit - Mostly C and G I think
I'd walk on burning coal
I'd sell my only soul
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
Put my head in a lions jaw (yes I would)
Take a ride on Niagara Falls
Over broken glass I would crawl
Ad lib - fade - or a quick G C like through the song is a good way to wrap up quickly
