THROUGH THE WINDOW - Chris Cornell
[Intro]
| A | % | Bm , E | Asus4 , A |
[Verse]
The Aclouds that gathered turned to rain
The Acandles on your sill burned out Bm7
The weather oEn your face
F#mTurned to mGatch the mood Aoutside
AReading poems that you saved
AThat make the gloomy hours make sense
BmOr do they lEose their power
F#mWith the yGellowing of aAge
[Chorus]
DI saw you suffering
AThrough a foggy window in the rEain
When you thought no one was F#mwatching, yeah
DGoing through your memories
ALike so many prisons to esEcape
And become soF#mmeone else
With aGnother face
And aDnother name
No moreA suffering
[Verse]
AYou sold the best of yourself out
AOn a chain of grey and white lies
Bm7One syllEable at a time
F#mYou should have made them pGay
A hiAgher price
[Chorus]
DI saw you suffering
AThrough the cracked and dirty
window Epane, I was ashamed that I was F#mwatching, yeah
DGoing through your imagination
ALooking for a life you could Ecreate
And become somebody F#melse, yeah
GWith another face
DWith another name
E Bbo E
No more suffering
[Bridge]
BmI wish that I could find a seed
And Dplant a tree that grows so hAigh
So that I could climb
AAnd harvest the ripe stars
BmFor you and I to drink
And sDpit the ashes from our mouths
F#mAnd put the grey back in the clouds
F#mAnd send them packing with our bags
E Bbo E
Of old regrets and sorrows
Bbo E
'Cause they don't do a thing
Bbo E
But drag us down
Bbo E
So far down
[Verse]
AThe past is like a braided rope
AEach moment tightly coiled inside
[Chorus]
DI saw you suffering
AThrough the yellow window of a Etrain
With everybody F#mwatching, yeah
DToo tired for imagining
AThat you could ever love somebody Eelse
From somewhere F#mfar away
From Ganother time
And aDnother place
With aBmnother life
And aF#mnother face
E Bbo E
And another name
Bbo E Bbo E
And another name
ANo more suffering
