Chords

[Intro] C F [Verse 1]
C
I was staring out the window

           F
The whole time he was talking to me

                 C
It was a filthy pane of glass

            F
I couldn't get a clear view

 C
And as he went on and on

                F                    Eb
It wasn't the outside world I could see

C                 Bb                       F
Just the filthy pane that I was looking through
[Chorus]
F                     E
So I had to break the window

F               E
It just had to be

F                        E
Better that I break the window

      Am     F     D
Than him or her or me
[Verse 2]
C
I was never focused on just one thing

    F
My eyes got fixed when my mind got so

 C
It may look like I'm concentrated on

    F          Eb
A very clear view

C
But I'm as good as asleep

   F               Eb
I bet you didn't know

C
It'd take a lot of it away

       F      Eb
If you do
[Chorus]
F                     E
I had to break the window

F              E
It just had to be

F                        E
Better that I break the window

      Am     F     D
Than him or her or me

F                     E
I had to break the window

F              E
It just had to be
It was in my way
 F                         E
Better that I break the window

         Am         F      D
Than forget what I had to say

    Am       F         D
Or miss what I should see
[Bridge]
 Dm
Because the fact being that
Whatever's in front of me
                      C
Is covering my view

Dm
So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact

                               F
I only see what I'm looking through
E F E Am E D [Verse 3]
C
So again I've done the right thing

        F
I was never worried about that

 C                        Am        Eb
The answer's always been in clear view

 C
But even when the window was cleaned

    F                      Am
I still can't see for the fact

Dm
That when it's clean

                       Bb                      Dm    G
It's so clear I can't tell what I'm looking through
[Chorus 3]
F                       E
So I had to break the window

F               E
It just had to be
It was in my way
 F                          E
Better that I break the window

     Am      F      D
Than him or her or me

F                   E
I had to break the window

 F             E
It just had to be
It was in my way
F                        E
Better that I break the window

      Am       F         D
Than miss what I should see

F                     E
I had to break the window

F              E
It just had to be
It was in my way
F                         E
Better that I break the window

       Am           F      D
Than forget what I had to say

     Am      F         D
Or miss what I should see

           Am    F     D
Or break him or her or me

              Am  F  D
Especially me
Am F D
