Standard (EADGBE)
(stars denote to use the specified voicing
to play it the way he does live
don't bother worrying about anything starred in the tab beyond the B*)
Intro
I live on the second floor
Of an old row house down in Baltimore
Watching all the colors and the shapes
Standing tall up here
My face against the window
OooooooOooOoooOoo
(*)
My face against the window
OooooooOooOoooOoo
These moments, they can never last
Like a sad old man with his photographs
Keeps wishing for the things he cannot change
Standing tall up here
My face against the window
OooooooOooOoooOoo
(*)
My face against the window
OooooooOooOoooOoo
So the architects and the engineers
Build their monuments, make their souvenirs
We are occupants
It's a trap, this town
We are burning up
We are fading out
We are shooting stars
[that's my arrangement of how it would go chord-wise, what's really being
played during the bridge is tabbed below (strumming not shown just follow
the progression above for guidance)]
^ ^
use your thumb on the E string for these two
**This is played throughout the background of the bridge, and is most noticeable
during the 'shooting stars line. To get the riff going throughout the bridge with one
guitar just keep adding alternations between the 4th and 5th fret on B (as shown
below) to the chords used in the transcribed version of the bridge above.
