Intro
Gb2
[Verso 1]
Db2
We're stubborn and we're prideful
Don't need nobody else
Fm7
We'd rather get our tooth pulled
Than ever ask for help
Gb2 Gbmaj9
And that's always served us well
Db6/9
Until right now
Db6/9
But our way of life is dyin'
And we haven't got a prayer
Fm7
The truth is I'd be lyin'
If I said I wasn't scared
Gb2
To go and let the outside in
Db6/9
Even if it turns us inside out
[Refrão]
Gb2
We build walls
Db
Around our homes, around our hearts
Gb2
Build 'em tall
Db
So what's inside won't fall apart
Bbm7 Db/Ab
But if we just stay here in limbo
Gbmaj9
We could lose it all
So I'm lookin' for a window, not a wall
[Verso 2]
Db2
We only see the danger
In places we ain't been
Fm7
We never think a stranger
Could ever be a friend
Gb2
But every friend you've got
Is someone that you didn't used to know
[Refrão]
Gb2
So why build walls (Oh)
Db
Around our homes, around our hearts?
Gb2
We just stay small (Small)
Db
Always thinkin' we're so smart
Bbm7 Db/Ab
But that story's gotta end though
Gbmaj9
Or we could lose it all
Db
So I'm lookin' for a window, not a wall
[Ponte]
Bbm7
A window lets the sunshine in
Db/Ab
The summer wind
Gbmaj9
Maybe even a new friend
Bbm7
And with a little hope and a little help
Db/Ab
Maybe we just might
Gbmaj9 Db/F
Save ourselves after all
Outro
Ebm9 Gb2/Ab Bbm7 Db/Ab

If we could find a window, not a wall
