Am G Fmaj7 G
Am G Am
[Verse 1]
Am G Six AM, the sun hits the glass, Am Shinin' on the only life she's ever had Am G Mama used to say, "Don't you dare look out." Fmaj7 G But that square of light was all she ever dreamed about. Am G In a one-horse town, where futures drown.
[Chorus]
C G It's Ruby's Window, framed in dusty lace, Am Fmaj7 The only postcard from this long forgotten place. C G She can trace the world she's not allowed to hold, Am Fmaj7 A story whispered, waitin' to be told. Am G Six feet from the ground, but a million miles from me. Am G Am Just Ruby's Window, and the view she'll never see.
[Verse 2]
Am G Cowboys ride by on the street below. Am Hats tipped low, hearts movin' slow. Am G She sees 'em laughin', sees 'em livin' free, Fmaj7 G Imagines the touch of that wild prairie breeze. Am G She whispers a prayer for a life she's never found.
[Chorus]
C G It's Ruby's Window, framed in dusty lace, Am Fmaj7 The only postcard from this long forgotten place. C G She can trace the world she's not allowed to hold, Am Fmaj7 A story whispered, waitin' to be told. Am G Six feet from the ground, but a million miles from me. Am G Am Just Ruby's Window, and the view she'll never see.
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 G One night a train whistle cuts the air, C Am Shakes the silence, shakes her to her core. Fmaj7 G The glass trembled, a crack began to crawl, E7 Am G Fmaj7 A small sign that maybe someday, this wall might fall. G Am Let it fall. Let it fall.
[Chorus]
C G It's Ruby's Window, framed in dusty lace, Am Fmaj7 The only postcard from this long forgotten place. C G She can trace the world she's not allowed to hold, Am Fmaj7 A story whispered, waitin' to be told. Am G Six feet from the ground, but a million miles from me. Am G Am Just Ruby's Window, and the view she'll never see.
[Outro]
Am G That view she'll never see. Am G Am Just dust and glass and dreams that used to be.
