[Verse 1]
C      G/B
  Neon flickers with a pale glow

Fadd9              C/E
      And all the shadows that come and go

C                 G/B                 Am7    Am
  Sometimes I can hear them laugh and cry

G/B C               G/B
       In my lonely room with a view

Fadd9         C/E
      I can't sleep and so I think of you

C                G/B                    Am7    Am
   And watch the world as it passes by
[Pre-Chorus]
                   Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............

C                  Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............

  Cadd9             Cadd9

[Chorus]
           Gadd9
This is my window to the world

           C6
All of the lonely boys and girls

      Am9                    G/B
Are a reflection in my eyes

Cadd9
       Of me and you

           Gadd9
This is my window to it all

          C6
I see the heroes rise and fall

           Am9                        G/B
This is my window watching the world

Cadd9
      And I can see
[Verse 2]
C          G/B
   As the night turns into day

Fadd9             C/E
       Old ladies shuffle by and wave

        C                  G/B                     Am7    Am
And the kids sell drugs to cars that slowly cruise

G/B C                    G/B
      Young lovers walk across my street

Fadd9                 C/E
     Oblivious to the refugees

        C                 G/B                    Am7    Am
And the lonely lost baby,     that's me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
                   Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............

C                  Cadd9   G/B    D
  I can't close my eyes............
