[Verse 1]
C      G/B
  Neon flickers with a pale glow
Fadd9              C/E
      And all the shadows that come and go
C                 G/B                 Am7    Am
  Sometimes I can hear them laugh and cry
 
G/B C               G/B
       In my lonely room with a view
Fadd9         C/E
      I can't sleep and so I think of you
C                G/B                    Am7    Am
   And watch the world as it passes by
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............
C                  Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............
  Cadd9             Cadd9

[Chorus]
           Gadd9
This is my window to the world
           C6
All of the lonely boys and girls
      Am9                    G/B
Are a reflection in my eyes
Cadd9
       Of me and you
           Gadd9
This is my window to it all
          C6
I see the heroes rise and fall
           Am9                        G/B
This is my window watching the world
Cadd9
      And I can see
 
[Verse 2]
C          G/B
   As the night turns into day
Fadd9             C/E
       Old ladies shuffle by and wave
        C                  G/B                     Am7    Am
And the kids sell drugs to cars that slowly cruise
 
G/B C                    G/B
      Young lovers walk across my street
Fadd9                 C/E
     Oblivious to the refugees
        C                 G/B                    Am7    Am
And the lonely lost baby,     that's me and you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............
C                  Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............
  Cadd9             Cadd9

This is my window to the world
           C6
All of the lonely boys and girls
      Am9                    G/B
Are a reflection in my eyes
Cadd9
       Of me and you
           Gadd9
This is my window to it all
