Herb Pedersen
D
I've been living a new way
A D
Of the life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering
A D
And the storm will wreck our home
G
For last night he held you tightly
D
And you didn't even shove
D A
This is true for I've been watching
G D
>From the window up above
D
You must have thought that I was sleeping
A D
And I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you
A D
And the way your heart can sin
G
I thought we belonged together
D
And our hearts fit like a glove
A
I was wrong for I've been watching
G D
>From the window up above
SOLO in D then B chord
B E
>From my eyes, a teardrop started
As I listened on and on
E
I heard you whisper to him, softly
E B E
That our marriage was all wrong
A
Well, I hope he makes you happy
E
And you'll never lose his love
B
I lost mine while I was watching
A E
>From the window up above
A
How I wish I could be dreamin'
E
And wake up to a love that's true
B
I lost mine while I was watching
A E
