I stepped out the front door into winter and the 
                 G      C
world outside
C                                                    
I stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was 
          G      C
barely dry
B                                    A               
I could not remember where I was going, so I went 
           G      C      G      C
back inside

G                                    C               
Nothing happening in the elevator, nothing happening 
                 G      C
on the stairs
C                                                    
Nothing ever happen when I am sleeping, I cannot stay
    G    C      G      C
 there
B                                           C
How'd you find a party when you're in your room
A                                                    
How'd you find the action man, the action is

everywhere

G                                                 
If you decide to climb outside your bedroom window, 
C                    G     C
paint a picture on a cloud
C
Oh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mind
                                G      C
Provide the slide to get you out
B                                           C
Feels just like you're falling and you're going down
A                                                    
But everybody loves you when you hit the ground

less than I need

G                                     C

step off into the air

C                                                
She says, come on Adam tell me, what the hell am I

supposed to do?
                   B
