Intro:
E MajorE

Verse 1:
  E MajorE
 I met up with an acrobat in Brooklyn or some place like that
                                C# minorC#m
 With life and taxis flying past, we tore that dance hall down
 E MajorE
 Pocket change and subway cars, our big ideas filled empty bars

 You might be from the moon or Mars
                  C# minorC#m
 Either way, I'm never going home

Pre-Chorus:
  E MajorE
 So let's hang an anchor from the sun
      E MajorE
 There's a million city lights, but


Chorus:
    E MajorE
 You're number one
      BB        C# minorC#m
 You're the reason I'm still up at dawn
     A augmentedA
 Just to see your face
     E MajorE           BB
 We'll be going strong with the vampires, baby
 C# minorC#m       A augmentedA      E MajorE N.C.
 We belong, we belong awake, swinging from the fire escape


Verse 2:
    E MajorE
 I was drinking from the wishing well, some junkie metal head hotel
                          C# minorC#m
 When we boarded the carousel, the roof was caving in
 E MajorE
 On the stage, my ox blood friend was singing songs about the end
                                       C# minorC#m
 The bankers in the lion's den were dropping lines like beggars in the snow

Pre-Chorus:
  E MajorE
 So let's hang an anchor from the sun
      E MajorE
 There's a million city lights, but


Chorus:
    E MajorE
 You're number one
      BB        C# minorC#m
 You're the reason I'm still up at dawn
     A augmentedA
 Just to see your face
     E MajorE           BB
 We'll be going strong with the vampires, baby
 C# minorC#m       A augmentedA      E MajorE
 We belong, we belong awake, swinging from the fire escape
E MajorE
 Swinging from the fire escape, swinging from the fire escape


Bridge:
E MajorE
 Walking home, your hand in mine, tattoos on the river line
   E MajorE
 The morning birds are taking flight
                      C# minorC#m
 Either way, I thought that you should know


Chorus:
      E MajorE
 You're my number one
      BB        C# minorC#m
 You're the reason I'm still up at dawn
     A augmentedA
 Just to see your face
     E MajorE           BB
 We'll be going strong with the vampires, baby
 C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
 We belong, we belong awake
      E MajorE
 You're my number one
      BB        C# minorC#m
 You're the reason I'm still up at dawn
     A augmentedA
 Just to see your face
     E MajorE           BB
 We'll be going strong with the vampires, baby
 C# minorC#m       A augmentedA      E MajorE
 We belong, we belong awake, swinging from the fire escapee

 Swinging from the fire escape
 E MajorE
