Through the Window Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
The clouds that gathered [G]turned
to rain
The candles on your sill burned out
[D]The weather on your fac[Em]e
Turned to [F]match the mood [G]outside

[Verse 2]
[G]
Reading through poems that you saved
That make the gloomy hours make sense
[D]Or do they lose their pow[Em]er
With the [F]yellowing [G]of age

[Verse 3]
[C]I saw you suffering
[G]Through a foggy window
in [Dsus4]the rain
When you [D]thought no one
[Em]was watching, yeah
[C]Going through your memories
[G]Like so many prisons to es[D]cape
[Dsus4]And become so[D]meone e[Em]lse
With [F]an other face
And an[C]other name
No [G]more suffering

[Verse 4]
[G]
You sold the best of yourself out
On a chain of grey and white lies
[Dsus4]One syllable at a time[D]
[Em]You should have made them [F]pay
A [G]higher price

[Verse 5]
[C]I saw you suffering
[G]Through the cracked and dirty window pan[D]e
I was ashamed that I was [Em]watching, yeah
[C]Going through your imagination
[G]Looking for a life you
[D]could create
And become somebody [Em]else, yeah
With [F]an other face
With an[C]other name
No more [Dsus4]suffer in[D]g

[Verse 6]
[Am]I wish that I could find a seed
And [C]plant a tree that grows so [G]high
So that I could climb
And harvest the ripe stars
[Am]For you and I to drink
And [C]spit the ashes from our mouths
And [Em]put the grey back in the clouds
And send them packing with our bags
Of [D]old regrets and sorrows
'Cause they don't do a thing
[Abdim]but drag [D]us down
[Abdim]So far do[Dsus4]wn[D][G]
The past is like a braided rope

[Verse 7]
Each moment tightly coiled inside
[C]I saw you suffering
[G]Through the yellow window
of [Dsus4]a train
With every[D]body [Em]watching, yeah
[C]Too tired for imagining
[G]That you could ever love some
[Dsus4]body else
From somewhere [Em]far away
From [F]an other time
And [C]an other place
With [Am]an other life
And [Em]an other face
And [D]another [Dsus4]name[D]
And another name
[G]No more suffering
