E A E
A broken promise I kept too long
B
A greasy shade and a curtain drawn
E A E
A broken glass and a heart gone wrong
C#m B E
That's my window on the world
E A E
A cup of coffee in a shaky hand
B
wakin' up in a foreign land
E A E
Tryin' to act like I got somethin' planned
C#m B E
That's my window on the world
[Refrão]E A E
That's my window on the world
C#m A E
Could you stand a little closer, girl
C#m A B
Don't let mama cut those curls
E
That's my window on the world
In broad daylight that circus tent
Pulled up stakes I don't know where it went
A close dark room with a busted vent
That's my window on the world
I think about you when I'm countin' sheep
I think about you, then I can't sleep
I think the ocean is just so deep
That's my window on the world
Chorus
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earl
That's my window on the world
Down on Indiana Avenue
Wes and Jimmy, man they played the blues
I guess they were only passin' through
That's my window on the world
E A E
That's my window on the world
C#m A E
Could you stand a little closer, girl
C#m A B
Don't let mama cut those curls
E
That's my window on the world
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earl
That's my window on the world
