[Intro] 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.
Am G Fmaj7 G Am
