Chords for Kate Wetherhead, Jared Gertner, Hunter Foster, Lisa Brescia "Rooftop Duet/Falling"

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ Wow.
[C] Look at this view.
I know.
It's stunning.
I'm stunned.
You [Am] live here?
Well, [F] I house sit the [A] artist.
[G] Ugh.
[C] You must be successful.
Not really. _
[Am] No?
_ _ Well, [C] what do you do [G] to score this view?
_ Trust fun.
Trust _ [Gm] fun? _ _
[C] There you go. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey, thanks for getting me back my notes. _
Don't know if I ever said that to you.
Didn't.
But it's okay.
What are they for, anyway?
_ Oh, my _ graduate dissertation.
Yeah, it sounds more impressive than it is.
In fact, it sucks.
_ At least that's what [D] my professor told me at our meeting the other day. _ _ _ _ _
If you come up here every [F] day
and [C] you look out at the buildings,
you start to notice [F] how the view's [A#] always changing.
[G] _ _ _ [D] New curtains [C] on the windows [Am] right there.
A pit [C] floor.
That flower pot that was not [D#] there [A] before.
_ So I come up here [F] every day
and [C] I watch the landscape shifting.
[Am] A coat of paint, a [Gm] bar that's [C] changing. _ _ _ _
[G] Nothing ever stays the [A] same.
[D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ When I was just a little [D] girl,
[A] I'd look out my bedroom window
and see this skinny little tree out [G] in the garden.
[E] _ _ [A] _ Season [C#m] after season, [A] it grew and grew.
And I smiled to the father's side,
but I [E] won't do,
for long here I [A] am with you.
As we overlook the city,
and I think I'm still a [C#] girl,
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ I know [D] that _ [A] I'll grow up as tall as the moon.
[D] But _ _ [A] _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[B] I want _ _ to try.
_ So ask [A] me why.
_ [D] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ Tell me about [A] it.
Tell me why you came to New York to begin it.
And [D] somehow you found [A] this little picture.
But the trouble [D] is finding [E] the right way to paint myself [D] in [G] it.
Where can we be now?
We're all just little specks all huddled together.
I mean, look [C#] at me here
with my bag full of pages.
Pages like _ these.
_ [F#] Bagpacks of [C#] pages.
Fountains of pages that [G] nobody sees.
_ [C] I come here every [Fm] day
[G#] and see [C#] the world evolving
[G#] from [A#m] the curtains on [Fm] the windows to [G#] the sky. _ _
But [F#] I stay just the [D#] same
[D#] and no one ever sees me
[G#] because _ I _ [C#] know
that [F#] _ _
[Fm] I'll never stand [A#m] as tall as these buildings.
_ I'll never quite reach the [F]
sky.
_ [C#] These pages I made
are [D#m] just a _ charade.
I'd [G#] rather see them [A#] float. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ [D] This time, I got my stuff from our [D#] apartment.
[G#] All the clothes, [F] I just moved in [C#] there.
A bunch of books.
_ _ _ [E] There were dishes.
[B] I left my key.
[C#] It had been days [B] and
a gray wash.
[A#] I couldn't call or even show.
I thought it would be best to let him go.
I was stopping at the corner
feeling [D] tense and all shook up.
And for no good reason I [F] looked _ up.
_ _ _ [A] You see a piece of me [A#] in the _ [G] sky.
It makes me stop
because [A#] it's falling [F] from so high.
[D#] Dancing on the wind on its [E] own.
But it is not [F#] _ _ alone.
_ There's [G] a swarm, a [F#m] storm, a [E] rain.
And the clouds and the ground and the ocean
blue and mild and green and yellow
orange and yellow on [B] the breeze
[G] churning like [B] a lullaby.
[E] Are you crazy?
Get out of [F#] there!
Look at how far they go and there's nothing to stop [A] them. _
_ _ Yeah, it's sort of a project, but no one ever took them.
Now they're much better off out there.
You gotta see this.
No, Warren, [A] look!
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [B] _ Fine.
[Em] It's a little precious, but it's [E] up to me.
[A] Well, keep it.
The rest are going over the [Em] edge.
Wait, Warren. _
Throw [E] my notes, too.
How about your thesis?
No, [D] it'd go wrong.
[F#m] This whole thing is wrong.
[B] _
I don't even like Virginia Woolf.
How is this depressing?
No, this isn't right.
It's not me.
It's not Warren.
Life story.
_ Yeah. _
Here.
[E] _ _ Dozens of people reaching for the pages that rain.
Look, Warren.
People are coming over.
Dozens more looking to the sky or to see them explain.
Wait, they're waving.
_ _ [A] Hey, come scooting my way. _ _
_ _ _ It says, [E] _
don't [C#] worry.
_ _ Everything will [A#] be _ okay.
Okay. _
Great.
_ On your mark.
On your mark.
Get set.
[C#] Lift up to the [F#] sky.
[G#m] We _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
are _ [F#] _ there. _
[C#] We are still there.
[A] We are there. _
We _ _ _ _ are [F#] still _ _ there.
We _ [C#] are still there.
So many people _ _ _ _ flooding the square.
_ _ _ _ Everything. _
Warren, you.
My cell phone rings.
I know.
_ It's Claire.
Look. _
Claire.
Look. _ _ _
[A#m] Claire.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [N] _
