The View From The Edge accords

G  Am7/G  G    D7

G
A tiny little planet
Em
Swirling through the stars
C                   Am7
In a traffic jam of orbits
Am7         D7
Jupiter and Mars
G
Dodging down the beltway
Em
Driving way too fast
          C                   Am7
With the searchlights of the galaxy
Am7               D7      G  Am7/G  G
Twinkling from the past

G
At the edge of where it's turning
Em
Going faster as it spins
           C             Am7
There's a view into the darkness
Am7             D7
Where emptiness begins
G
A tiny little planet
Em
A backyard with a hedge
         C                Am7
We were safe back in the middle
Am7       D7             G      G  Am7/G  G
But the view is from the edge

G
Like the ones up on the towers
Em
Who really feel it sway
            C                   Am7
And they're dashed against the railing
Am7             D7
And the railing breaks away
G
And they're hanging by the wreckage
Em
And they feel it start to give
C                Am7        C
If they had the time to tell you
Am7         D7             G      G  Am7/G  G
They could tell you how to live

 
F#dim            C/G
When the movie's over
          D               G
And we're back out on the street
F#dim                      C/G
It rained while we were in there
      D               G
So it shimmers at our feet

G
Reflections of the skyline
G          Em
Shimmering above
           C             Am7
So we ride up to the top floors
D7              G
Falling more in love
G
Then the elevator opens
Em
An old man with a cane
C                 Am7
He steps in kinda slowly
Am7                 D7
And winces with the pain
G                  Em
Or maybe with the memories
Em
To see that dress you wear
       C         Am7
In a fashion so familiar
Am7                 D7      G  Am7/G  G
He's trying not to stare

G
Cause you look like his first love
Em
When he could run for miles
C                     Am7
She wore a dress just like yours
Am7                  D7
And now it's back in style
G
And he can see the beauty
Em
That you cannot perceive
              C          G       Am7
Until you've earned the eyes to glimpse it
Am7               D7    G  Am7/G  G
Just before you leap

F#dim            C/G
The galaxy is stardust
D               G
Nothing but a wisp
F#dim               C/G
Whirling through the mystery
Am7       D7
Into the abyss

G
At the precipice of darkness
Em
Our toes right on the ledge
        C                 Am7
We were safe back in the middle
Am7                     D7        G  Am7/G  G
But the view is from the edge

G
A galaxy of stardust
              Em
Nothing but a wisp
C                   Am7
Whirling through the darkness
Am7       D7
Into the abyss
G
A tiny little planet
Em
A backyard with a hedge
         C                Am7
We were safe there in the middle
Am7      D7              G      G  Am7/G  G
But the view is from the edge
         C                Am7
We were safe there in the middle
Am7      D7              G
But the view is from the edge
