G    320033

C                Am6
  In the shadows     of tall buildings
G                  C
  Of fallen angels   on the ceilings

(C)             Am6
  Oily feathers     in bronze and concrete
G                E                  Am
  Faded colours,   pieces left incomplete


REFRAIN LEAD-IN:
Chords:
D/F#  2x023x    E  022100

(Am)                    D/F#                G
  The line moves slowly   past the electric fence
                   E              Am
Across the borders   between continents

D/F#  2x023x    C    x32010

Cmaj7 x3200x

(Am)              D/F#              G
In the cathedrals   of New York and Rome
                   Cmaj7                     Am
There is a feeling   that you should just go home
                     D/F#                        | C | Am6 |
And spend a lifetime   finding out just where that is

C                Am6
  In the shadows     of tall buildings
G                  C
  The architecture   slowly peeling
(C)              Am6
  Marble statues     and glass dividers
G                     E                 Am
  Someone is watching   all of the outsiders

(Am)                  D/F#                   G
The line moves slowly   through the numbered gate
                E                Am
Past the mosaic   of the head of state

C                Am6
  In the shadows     of tall buildings
G                   C
  In broken arches,   endlessly kneeling
C                  Am6
  Sonic landscapes     echoing vistas
G                      E                Am
  Someone is listening   from a safe distance

  The line moves slowly   into a fading light
               E                Am
A final moment   in the dead of night
