[Verse]
                C  C*
In the shadows of tall buildings
GOf fallen angels Con the ceilings
                C  C*
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
GFaded colors, E7pieces left incomplete
AmThe line moves slowly Dpast the electric fence
GAcross the borders E7between continents
[Chorus]
AmIn the cathedrals of DNew York and Rome
GThere is a feeling Cmaj7that you should just go home
                   Am                             D             C  C*
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
[Verse]
                C  C*
In the shadows of tall buildings
GThe architecture Cis slowly peeling
              C  C*
Marble statues and glass dividers
GSomeone is watchinE7g all of the outsiders
AmThe line moves slowly Dthrough the numbered gate
GPast the mosaic E7of the head of state
[Chorus]
AmIn the cathedrals of DNew York and Rome
GThere is a feeling Cmaj7that you should just go home

And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
[Verse]
             C  C*
In the shadows of tall buildings
GOf open arches Cendlessly kneeling
              C  C*
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
GSomeone is listeninE7g from a safe distance
AmThe line moves slowlDy into a fading light
GA final moment E7in the dead of the night
[Chorus]
AmIn the cathedrals of DNew York and Rome
GThere is a feeling Cmaj7that you should just go home
AmAnd spend a lifetime Dfinding out just where that GisE7
