Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm in the rafters looking down
It's [C]cold up here
Between wall[G]s of stone
I made [F]my home

[Verse 2]
And the [Am]air hangs
Heavy with the incense
[C]Feathers fall from pig[G]eons
Cooing in the [F]tower[Dm][F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
I rarely go down there, the view's just
So [C]beautiful from here and
I can see everybody
At [G]their worst points
At their [F]worst points

[Verse 4]
[Am]I'm not a sadist, I enjoy just being able
To be witness [C]of the [Am]loneli[C]ness
and be a higher power
In case there [G]isn't one
In case there [F]isn't one
[Am]

[Verse 5]
I'm not a higher power,
I just live in the ceiling 'cause
I'm lonely [C]on the fringes,
and it gives my life some mean[G]ing
In the exile
[Em]In my ex[Am]ile
[F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]The grey light filters
[F]through [Am]roof slabs
And the [C]flagstones glow
Bright from the [G]stained glass
A hundred feet below
[F]

[Verse 7]
As I [Am]tiptoe
Creaking over pray[C]ers
Pleading with their [G]maker
Crying with the choir
[F][Am]

[Verse 8]
I'm not immune to the
sincerity below me
Makes me [C]feel, it makes me holy,
but the tears I understand
That I do [G]not below
No, I do [F]not belong

[Verse 9]
[Am]Watching the figures, all the saints,
but mostly sinners
Come and [C]go and some are desperate,
but the others have
The sense that they [G]do belong
And I do [F]not belong
[Am]

[Verse 10]
Some only turn towards the
heavens when the end
Is feeling [C]desperate,
have [Am]the o[C]verwhelming feeling
That there's nobody who's
[G]looking down (looking down)
At least I'm [F]looking down

[Outro 1]
[F][Am][G][Am][G][Am][G]
[Am][C][Am][G]
[Am][G][C][Am][G][Am][G]
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][G][Am][G][Am]
