Verse 1:
    G                                      C            G
The first plane hit the other tower, right after I came in
                                   D
It left a fiery, gaping hole where offices had been
   C                    G             C                  G
We stood and watched in horror, as we saw the first ones fall
     C                    G                               A7      D

Verse 2:
  G                                     C                     G
I grabbed the pictures from my desk and joined the flight for life

And then we heard them coming up, from several floors below
  C            G                   A7            D
A crowd of firefighters with their heavy gear in tow

     Chorus:
         C            G                 C              G
     Now every time I try to sleep, I'm haunted by the sound
                                              D               G   D
     Of firemen pounding up the stairs, while we were running down

Verse 3:
    G                                    C                G
