Am C F Dm Am C F Dm
you were born in kc , missouri to a girl who wasn’t married
Am C F Dm
after your birth she brought you to the nursery
Am C F Dm
kissed your head and told you not to worry
G Am Dm F Fadd9 F
and then quietly she turned and slipped away

Am C F Dm Am C F Dm
in the elevator her heart began to pound to the rooftop , in her slippers , and her gown
Am C F Dm
on the edge , she took one last look around
G C
then closed her eyes and pushed away

Am Em G
speeding toward the ground
C Am Em G
through the air without a sound so gracefully

Am C F Dm Am C F Dm
twelve flights down , nearly naked on the ground skin and tragedy always attract a crowd
Am C F Dm Am C F Dm
so it was when the policeman came around he took more than fifty eyewitness accounts
G E Am G F Dm G G7 C
each one in awe , for they’d never seen a girl so sad and beautiful . . . . .

Am Em G
speeding toward the ground
C Am Em G
through the air without a sound
C Am Em G
speeding toward the ground
C Am Em G F
through the air without a sound so gracefully
