Song From The Sixteenth Floor Chords

   
Capo 5

G  C  Am  F
G  C  
                                               
                              G  C
Something's frying   
                              G  C
On the floor below               
                              G  F
I'm leaning out 
                              G  C
Of my window             

                              G  C
The sky's on fire           
                                     G  C
The streets all aglow           
                                        G  F
And somebody's singing 
                     G  
To the radio         

G                      C
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
Am                  F
If I only could get next to you        
G                C
Put my head in a lions jaw
Am                  F                                         G  C
If I only could get next to you next to you     

                                    G  C
I'm walking the floor 
                                    G  C
I'm climbing the walls
                                           G  F
I wake up from dreaming
                             G
That's when I fall

G                     C
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
Am                  F
If I only could get next to you        
G                C
Put my head in a lions jaw
Am                  F
If I only could get next to you next to you 
G                C
Take a ride on a wrecking ball       
Am                 F
Yes I would darling                      
Dm          G
Every day I speak your name          
Dm                 G
If I had wings I'd fly          
Dm              
'Cause you're not here to hold me             

G                     C
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
Am                  F
If I only could get next to you        
G                C
Put my head in a lions jaw
Am                  F
If I only could get next to you next to you 
G                C
Take a ride on a wrecking ball       
Am                 F
Yes I would darling                      
Dm          G
Every day I speak your name          
Dm                 G
If I had wings I'd fly          
Dm              
There's no one here to hold me         

Funky Instrumental Bit - Mostly C and G I think
                                                                       
G           C            Am  F
I'd walk on burning coal                               
G           C            Am  F
I'd sell my only soul
G           C                           Am  F
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
G           C                    Am  F
Put my head in a lions jaw (yes I would)                                    
G           C                 Am  F
Take a ride on Niagara Falls                                    
G           C                   Am  F
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
