[Strophe]
F#              A#m 
Walking on the rooftops 
D#m         B 
Talking of times 
F#               A#m 
With our eyes a glowing 
D#m            B 
Like the city lights 
    F#             A#m 
She stands on the ledge, 
           D#m            G#7* 
She says, 'it looks so high'  
  
You know it's a...
[Refrain]
F#    A#m  D#m     B 
Long way down 
             F#    A#m  D#m      B 
Feels like a long way down 
             F#    A#m  D#m      B 
Feels like a long way down 
       F#    A#m  D#m      B 
Like a long way down 
         A#m 
So honey don't leave, don't leave, 
             B 
Please don't leave me now
[Strophe]
          F#        A#m 
Cuz I can feel the rivers 
        D#m          B 
Winding through the lands 
    F#            A#m 
Two lines, and a poet (you know) 
       D#m       B 
Like a kind old rye 
                  F#            A#m 
You know we could talk in that language 
        D#m     G#7* 
Only we understand  
  
But you know..
[Refrain]
       F#    A#m  D#m     B 
It's a long way down 
             F#    A#m  D#m      B 
Feels like a long way down 
             F#    A#m  D#m      B 
Feels like a long way down 
       F#    A#m  D#m      B 
Like a long way down 
         A#m 
So honey don't leave, don't leave, 
             B 
Please don't leave me now
