 #In a room above a busy street the echoes of a life
 C C/F C C/F                                                   
    The fragments and the accidents separated by incidents
 C C/F C C/F

 F G F G                                                      
    Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements
 F G F G                                                     
    Storey to storey Building to building Street to street
 C C/F C                 
   We pass each other

 Listened to by the walls We share the same spaces

 F G F G                                                     
    The nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck
 C C/F C C/F                                                      
    Do you lead or are you led Are U sure that you don't care
 C C/F F/G F D2

    The passion lives to keep your faith though all are different all are great
 C C/F C C/F                                               
   Climbing as we fall We dare to hold on to our fate
 F G F G                                                             
    And steal away our destiny To catch ourselves with quiet grace
 F G F G                                                     
    Storey to storey Building to building Street to street
 C C/F C                               
   We pass each other on the stairs
