Intro 1
(A minor) (D major) (E major) (A minor) (D major) (F major) (E major)
Verse 1
(E major) When
you're (A minor) sitting there
on (D major) top of a (G minor) fence
(D major) The (F major) things around you
(G minor) don't make (F major) too much (E major) sense
And (A minor) there I am, (D major) so safe and sound
Who (F major) wants to jump
when I can't see the ground? (E major)
I see you (A minor) liv ing your life,
but you've (G major) already died (G minor)
(D major) You don't have (G minor) time to (D major) smile,
and I've never seen you (E major) cry
Yet you're the (A minor) first to condemn,
the (D major) first to deny
Anything (F major) that's (E major) new and different
Are your (A minor) fu tures a nightmare,
your (D major) past on a throne?
You've just pawned (G minor) your (D major) soul
for a down pay (G major) ment loan (E major)
But my friend, there is (A minor) nothing to (E major) buy
an (A minor) d nothing to (D major) own
Not (D minor) even time (D major) can be bought or (E major) spent
When you're (A minor) sitting there
on (D major) top of a fence
The thing (F major) s around you
don't (G major) make too much (E major) sense
And there (A minor) I am, so (G major) safe and (G minor) sound
(D major) Don't (F major) make me jump,
I can't see the ground (E major)
I see the (A minor) busy idealist
peddling (G major) roses and dreams (D major)
Down Pushcott (G minor) Avenue,
(D major) he blends into the (E major) scene
Of screaming (A minor) ad vertising signs,
preaching right (D major) s and wrongs
And mixed -up flowers
who just follow along (E major)
Follow tradi (A minor) tional tongues,
spitting worthless (C major) ad (D major) vice
Who fake (G minor) you out left and (D major) right
(D minor) without (G minor) once think (D major) ing twice (E major)
(A minor) And you who think you're free
(D major) are just falling (G minor) to their (D major) vice
And are crushed (F major) happily ever (E major) after (F major)
(A minor) (D major) (F major) (E major) (A minor) (G major) (D major) (F major) (E major)
You're so (A minor) caught up in you,
you don't (G minor) care about (D major) nothin' (G minor) else
King (D major) Ego's got you chained
by the neck on his (E major) shelf
And it (A minor) just makes me sick,
see (D major) in' you livin' (G minor) like this
Where an (F major) d when did it go?
(G major) You say you (F major) don't know
Oh Lord, it wasn't even this (E major)
Oh, when you're sitting (A minor) here
on top (D major) of a fence
The thing (F major) s around (D major) you
don't (G major) make too much (E major) sense
And here (A minor) I am, (D major) so safe (G minor) and sound
Who (F major) wants to jump?
I can't see the ground (E major)
In the (A minor) distance,
a fire lights up the (D major) wintertime sky
The crackling murmurs send
a (G minor) prayer (G major) and a cry (E major)
Lord throw (A minor) me a line,
Lord throw (G minor) me a (D major) line
I've been (F major) born on a fence,
but where will I die
(E major)
On top of a fence
