CHORUS: (softly and slowly as INTRO)
G C Am7 D
Come to my window
G C Am7 D G
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
C Am7 D
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
 
C G D (4 times, aggressively)
 
C G
I would dial the numbers
D
Just to listen to your breath
C G
And I would stand inside my hell
D
And hold the hand of death
C G
You don't know how far I'd go
D
Just to ease this precious ache
C G
You don't know how much I'd give
D
Or how much I can take
Em C D Em C D
Just to reach you, just to reach you, oh, to reach you
 
CHORUS
 
Keeping my eyes open, I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises, I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness that has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood, I am foresaking all the rest
Just to reach you, just to reach you, oh, to reach you
 
CHORUS
 
Em
I don't care what they they think
Em Dsus2 C
I don't care what they say
C G Am D Dsus4 D
What do they know about this love anyway
 
G C Am7 D (twice, arpeggiated, not strummed)
 
C G D
Come, come to my window, I'll be home
C G D
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'm comin' home
 
CHORUS
