[Verse 1]
[Am]You were born [C]in[Dm]
[F]KC,[Dm] Missouri[A]
[Am]To a girl [C]who wasn't[F]
[Dm]married[F][Dm][A]
[Am]After your [C]birth she brought [Dm]you to
[F]the nursery[Dm][D][Am]
Kissed your [C]head and told you
[F]not to [Dm]worry[D][G]
And the quietly she [Am]turned an
[A]d slipped [D]awa[Dm]y
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
In [C]the elevator her [F]heart
began [Dm]to p[D]ound[A]
To [Am]the r[C]ooftop, in her slipp[F]ers,
and her [Dm]gown[D][A]
On [Am]the e[C]dge,
she took [F]one last look [Dm]around[D][Dm][G]
Then closed her eyes and
pushed [C]away

[Verse 3]
[Am]Speeding toward the [Em]ground[G][C]
Through [Am]the air without [Em]a sound
So gracefully
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Twelve flights [C]down,
nearly na[F]ked on the [Dm]ground[Am]
Skin and [C]tragedy al[F]ways
attract a [Dm]crowd[Am]
So it [C]was when the police
[F]man came [Dm]around[A]
[Am]He took mo[C]re than fifty
[F]eyewitness [Dm]accounts[D]
[G]Each one in awe[E], for they'd nev[Am]er seen a[G]
[F]girl so [Dm]sad [D]and [G]beauti[C]ful

[Verse 5]
[A]Speed[Am]ing toward the ground
[Em]Through [G]the[C] air[Am]
without a [Em]sound[G][C]
[Am]Speeding toward the [Em]ground[G][C]
Through [Am]the air without a [Em]sound
So gracefully
[G][F]
