Standard (EADGBE)
I sit and watch you from my window
Giving yourself away
You've been working hard all day
I see the ground catch at your feet
I see the sweet signs of defeat
Like you're beaten but you feel no pain
And then you turn to me instinctively
checking if you're alone
like a relfex from my guilty mind
I fall away into the background like a shadow on the wall
To leave you with your piece of mind
Chorus
I watch from my window up high
All alone in this room
So many people go the same way
I think it's time that I change my view(s)
Like a king in his lonely kingdom
A ruler who had no rules
See I've got nothing left to lose
I think it's time that I change my view(S)
Why did you choose my way
Why did you come down this lonely street
Was it to meet me
Was it to tango with the roots they sound so sweet
walking along this lonely street
someone I'd like to meet
Someone I'd like to know
As a kindred soul
oh so spiritual the sound ran down like waterfalls
running away never the same
Changing my view of you everyday
Then a solo in Cm with the original chord progression as the
backing, and finishing with the chorus:
[I watch from my window up high,
All alone in this room,
So many people go the same way,
I think it's time that I changed my views
Like a king in his lonely kingdom,
A ruler who had no rules, Ooh
oh I got nothing got left to lose,
I think its time that I changed my views] (x5)
