Pretty simple song to play. Standard Tuning. No capo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:     A     F#     F#m  D  
  AIt's lonely at thC#me top of the Eupside Amountain
Watch the Bmsunrise from a Dwindowless AroomE  
  AIf the Paramedics C#mstop the Esoul goes on Awithout them 
In a Bmwicker basket Dtied to a Eballoon
   BmThere are no Eboundaries to Alove
   BmThe heart can't Ecomprehend the Apa- F#no- F#mra- Dma
  AI took it on the C#mchin from some sEecond hand Afeeling
Sorrow Bmhanded down to Dme it felt brand AnewE  
  ATiny vioC#mlins or some Esummer insects Alistening
BmAnother season Dleaving us too Esoon
   BmFreedom's the Eopposite of Alove
   BmYou'll never Ekeep it through the Apa- F#ra- F#mnoi- Da
A    D
A    D
A    E
D
   AStanding on the C#medge of a Emillion landscapes Aemptying and the
Bmwater from the Dglacier fills my AshoesE  
   ALaying in your C#mbed my Edreams are sex and Aviolence
I Bmchase the rapist Dchasing after Eyou
   BmThere is no Edignity in Alove
   BmTrade every Escrap to get some Aab- F#so- F#mlo -Dtion
   A'Til then I'm walking out the doDor
   A'Til then I'm running through the Dairport
   A'Til then i'm waiting around for Eno Aone
