Intro: A C#m D F#5 D A E (2x) 

Verse 1: 
A                                      C#m 
We stumble and stare at the carnival lights 
D                       F#5 
That lit up New York City, 
D                      A 
From the rooftop in Brooklyn 
  E                         A 
That was covered in bad graffiti. 
                      C#m 
And then I let a thousand splinters 
D                               F#5 
Pierce right through my spoiled liver, 
D                          A 
Whatever that was left of it.

Verse 2:
 
A                         C#m 
'Cuz I cursed my lonely memory 
D                       F#5 
With picture-perfect imagery. 
                D 
Maybe I'm not dying 
A                           E 
I'm just living in decaying cities, 
A                            C#m 
But I'm still healthy, I'm still fine, 
D                 F#5- D                A          E 
I'll be spending all my time readin' the obituaries.

Bridge:
 
D             A           E             F#5 
Cause I was the shadow of the waxwing slain 
D             A           E           F#5 
I felt the false azure from windowpanes 
D             A          E         F#5 
I am just freaking out, yeah I'll be fine.
