Lyrics

Out on my win dow ledge,

I don’t feel (A5)safe.

And I (F)stay

look ing down on you.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

I can’t (D5)just walk a way.

(D5)Be nice to walk a (A5)way,

but I don’t feel (A5)safe.

Get a way,

all the (D5)way up here.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

Oh, it is.

Down from here,

and down from here.

Start to feel in (A5)sane, zy,

be (F)trayed,

out on my (D5)win dow ledge.

Now our (A)fin est (D5)hour ar rives.

See the (A)pig dressed in his fin est (A)fine.

And all the be (A)liev ers stand be hind him and (A)smile

as the (A)day lights (D5)up with fire.

Let me in.

Let me in.

I start to feel like I’m

Look ing down from (A)here.

It’s out of my (D5)hands for (A)now.

Out on my win dow ledge.

It’s out of my (D5)hands for (A)now.

So let me in.

Let me in.
