[Verse]
E A B E
Everyone has said that I might go
E A
'Cause my red suitcase and my ray-bans
B E
Weren't quite so
A B
I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls
E A B
I'll never come back again
E A B E
'Cause you know I laugh when winter shows her hand
E A B E
Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see
A B
But it bought me time and a place that love could be
A B
And since I'm going now please rearrange
E A B
'Cause I'd like to think that things have changed
E A B E
I don't believe you'll be open anymore
[Chorus]
E G#
Tell me if, you want to see
A E
A world outside your window
A E B
A world outside your window isn't free
E G# A E
And tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
A B E A B E
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me
[Verse]
E A B E
Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while
A B E
Tell us 'bout that great land in the south
A B E
I see that man - now ain't he under offer?
A B E
I tell you child you go wash out your mouth
[Chorus]

Tell me if, you want to see

A world outside your window

[Bridge]
E
What can you say
I'm hiding in the belfry
B
What can you say - I want to catch time
E
How can you say you know anything about me
B A
Well I knew about you - but I won't care about you
[Verse]
E A B A E
Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to die
A B E
Flowers out for this graphic haunt, but they all pass me by
A B E B E
But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz
A E
And when I winced with ignorance
B A E
I had to kiss this dust
[Chorus]
E G#
Tell me if, you want to see

A world outside your window
