Fire Escape Chords & Lyrics - Andrew Mcmahon In The Wilderness

[INTRO]
[E]

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

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


[PRE-CHORUS]
So [E]let's hang an anchor from the sun
There's a [E]million city lights, but

[CHORUS]
You're [E]number one
You're the [B]reason I'm still [C#m]up at dawn
Just to [A]see your face
We'll be [E]going strong with the [B]vampires, baby
[C#m]We belong, we be[A]long awake, [E]sw[N.C.]inging from the fire escape

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

[PRE-CHORUS]
So [E]let's hang an anchor from the sun
There's a [E]million city lights, but

[CHORUS]
You're [E]number one
You're the [B]reason I'm still [C#m]up at dawn
Just to [A]see your face
We'll be [E]going strong with the [B]vampires, baby
[C#m]We belong, we be[A]long awake, [E]swinging from the fire escape
[E] Swinging from the fire escape, swinging from the fire escape

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

[CHORUS]
You're my [E]number one
You're the [B]reason I'm still [C#m]up at dawn
Just to [A]see your face
We'll be [E]going strong with the [B]vampires, baby
[C#m]We belong, we be[A]long awake
You're my [E]number one
You're the [B]reason I'm still [C#m]up at dawn
Just to [A]see your face
We'll be [E]going strong with the [B]vampires, baby
[C#m]We belong, we be[A]long awake, [E]swinging from the fire escapee

Swinging from the fire escape
[E]Swinging from the fire escape, swinging from the fire escape
