Wicked Windows Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I review my past through
[F]wicked windows
Framed in sil[C]ver
[Am]And hung in toughened glass,
[F]upon my face,
[Dm]Around and over.
Now [Am]and [F]then: memories
of [C]men who [G]loved me.
[F]No [Dm]stolen [E]kiss - could mat[Dm]ch their march on hot coals for[C]
[Bm]me.[A][G][Bm][B][Bm][A][G][D][Bm]
[A][G][D][E][B][A][G][Bm]
I have walked a line both [Em]faint and narrow,
[G]hard to [Bm]follow.
Caught up in circumstance.
Harsh [G]truth for history
[Em]to mellow.[Bm]
[Em]Through my [Bm]eyes: [G]loyalties
and ob[D]liga[A]tion
[G]magni[F#]fied.[Em]
Obedience: the bet[G]ter fel[D]low.
[Bm][A][G]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][A][G][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[G#m]Better not remember[B] me.
[F#]Don't miss my pass[E]ing.
Fierce [G#m]winter [B]fails to [F#]ruffle my icy sleep.
[G#m]We never quite [B]vanish.
[F#]No wet s[B]oft surr[E]ender.
[G#m]Still waitin[B]g: bad blood running
[F#]in close families.
I laughed like [B]any child
Al[C#m]though you might [B]find that strange
[A]And Christmas was my favourite
[E]holiday.
[Bm][D][A][G]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
Christmas [D]was my favourite [A]holiday.[Bm]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]I am not alone in [Em]seeing the world
[G]through wicked win[Bm]dows
While others hide likewise be[G]hind
this vul[Em]nerable squint[Bm]ing.
It's [Em]in th[Bm]e stare: it's in[G]
the silent [D]scrutin[A]izing.
[G]Strip [Em]you [F#]bare: I offer[Em]
you no [G]more dis[D]guising.
[G#m]Better not re

[Verse 5]
[B]member me.
[F#]Don't miss my pass[E]ing.
[G#m]Fierce winter fails [B]to ruffle[F#] my icy sleep.
[G#m]We nev[B]er quite vanish.
[F#]No wet soft surr[E]ender.
[G#m]Same bad blood r[B]unning in new f[F#]amilies.
