Fairly Simple Song, Just 4 Chords
Capo 1
F G7 C x4
F G7 C
I thought I heard you pulling up outside
F G7 C
It's just the wind whistlin' through the pines
F G Am
I haven't seen who I'm looking for
F G7 C
Just empty shadows in my open door
F G7 C
The empty closet where you hung your clothes
F G7 C
The empty hooks where you hung your coat
F G7 Am
The cellar steps or the kitchen floor
F G C
They don't catch shadows like an open door
F G7 C x2
F G7 C
Do open windows keep the rain away?
F G7 C
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
F G7 C
I thought an open door would bring you in
F G7 C
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I find myself hoping for a storm
Each silver lining is a crown of thorns
I find myself hoping the rain
You dont see shadows on a cloudy day
Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out
They'll all agree with what I'm talking about
They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before
They'd ever set foot in an open door
Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
Im saving nickles and Im saving dimes
Im gonna kiss you where the sun dont shine
And all them shadows gonna kiss them too
As long as they come in with you
Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
