A chord change or two might be wrong. When I learned these songs I played them with the
cd but I've been playing them acoustic and a little slower since then, so I might have
changed something without realizing. Let me know if anything sounds off.
Most F.M. songs I try to learn the second after I hear them, but I've never tabbed
anything before and rarely spend more time than I need to on these confounded internet
machines. These guys deserve to have their music more accessible though, and I owe them
this much at least for how entertaining and inspiring they are. If you want chords for a
different F.M. song, send me an e-mail and I'll post it.
and now that they've made the Cities Sampler and are getting bigger, I wanted proof for
when they're on Letterman or Austin City Limits and I claim that I was listening to
Farewell Milwaukee since the beginning haha

Capo 1
[Am]The city buildings take my [F]breath [C]away
[Am]The men who built them they risked their [F]lives to [C]say
[G]You gotta lose [C]everything to k[F]now
[G]That you could gain the whole w[C]orld if you d[F]on't
[Am]When your fate's tied to a b[F]alance b[C]eam
[Am]And your feet could cost you [F]everythin[C]g
[G]You gotta break all the r[C]ules to k[F]now
[G]That there ain't any rul[C]es anym[F]ore
[F]You could stand in the [Am]rain to know my l[G]ove won't wash a[C]way
[F]I might bend until I br[Am]eak so I can se[G]e that I'm afr[C]aid
[F]But we won't know who we [Am]are without r[G]isking it a[Am]ll
[F]Baby I'll risk y[C]ou if you r[G]isk me t[C]oo
