[Am] Snow, [C] cement, [D] and ivory on [C] the tower
[F] [G] Someone [C] call us Babylon
[Ab] Those [Am] hungry [F] hunters [Dm] tracking [G] down the hour
On
[Eb] [Bb] your shoulders when we cry
[Ab] While the darlings [G] on the sideline
[Cm] Dream in opposite cherished lines
[F] To whisper in your ear before [Bb] you die
[Cm]
[Bb] [Cm] [Bb] [Eb] It's probably time for the [Ab] guys in the [Bb] tower
But baby, [Cm] [Ab] suddenly from the morn
[Eb] [Bb] Came these cables, [Fm] kind of [Cm] on the jaw
[Ab] See the ledges [G] crawl, hear the doorbells [Cm] on the table
Watching [Ab] in the graves
While [Eb]
[Bb] Jesus don't save the guys in the [Cm] tower
But baby, [Bb] [Ab] watching [Eb] in the graves
Jesus don't [Bb] save the guys [Fm] in the tower
But baby, [Bb] nothing [Eb] on your [E]
[A] [F]
[G] [Am] [G]
[C] [Dm] [E]
[C] [G] [Am]
[C] angel
This [D]
closet's always [C] style
[Am] [G] The dealers [C] in the basement
[Abm] [A] Filling [F] your prescription [G] for a brand new heart attack
[Eb]
But where were all your [Bb] shoulders when you cry
[Ab] Were the doctors in [G] attendance
[Cm] Saying how they felt so sick [F] inside
Or was it just the scalp who [Bb] played that [Cm] lie
[Bb]
It's [Cm] [Bb] [Eb] probably time for the [Ab] guys in the [Bb] tower
But baby, [Cm] [Ab] suddenly from the morn
[Eb]
[Bb] Came these cables, [Ab] kind of [Cm] on the jaw
[Ab] See the ledges crawl, [G] hear the doorbells on [Cm] the table
Watching [Ab] in the graves
While [Eb] [Bb] Jesus don't save the guys in the [Cm] tower
But baby, [Ab]
watching [Eb] in the graves
While Jesus don't save [Bb] the guys [Fm] in the tower
But baby, [Eb] nothing on your angel
[Ab] The guys in the tower
[Bb] But baby, [Cm] suddenly [Ab] from the morn
[Eb] Came [Bb] these cables, [Fm] kind [Cm] of on the jaw
[Ab] See the ledges [G] crawl, hear the doorbells [Cm] on the table
[C] Watching [Ab] in the graves
[Eb]
While Jesus don't [Bb] save the guys in the [Cm] tower
But baby, [Ab] watching [Eb] in the graves
While [Bb] Jesus don't save the guys in the [Fm] tower
But baby, [Bb] nothing on [Eb] your angel
