Chorus 1:
          Bm                        D
From this second story window I can hear the church bells

               A          E/G#     F#m
calling out my name. This table is set for one

     Bm                                  D         Dm(hold)
Even angels would be homesick in this forsaken town

A                    E/G#                        F#m
  On random notes of parchment I'm scrawling my existence

           D           A                              E/G#
Dressed in white, This candle radiates throughout the night

                       F#m        D
And it's never burning out, Never burning out
Chorus 2:
          Bm                        D
From this second story window I can hear the children

              A             E/G#          F#m
down on Main Street They're singing their songs tonight

       Bm                              D
In the shadows, I will listen to their every movement
Bridge:
F#m         A             D
  Mr. Higginson, Am I not good enough for the world?

     F#m              A                     D
Am I destined only to die the same way that I lived...
in seclusion Chorus 3:
     Bm                             D
From high up on this mountain I can almost see

                  A             E/G#      F#m
your lonely windowsill, They'll carry you off tonight

          Bm
There's a ghost in your old bedroom

And a candle burning bright
