E               A          E    
A broken promise I kept too long  
                    B 
A greasy shade and a curtain drawn  
E             A                E 
A broken glass and a heart gone wrong  
C#m      B         E 
That's my window on the world  
 

E                   A     E 
A cup of coffee in a shaky hand  
              B 
wakin' up in a foreign land  
E                       A         E 
Tryin' to act like I got somethin' planned  
C#m      B             E 
That's my window on the world  


E               A      E 
That's my window on the world  
C#m                     A       E 
Could you stand a little closer, girl  
C#m            A               B             
Don't let mama cut those curls  
                         E 
That's my window on the world   
 
In broad daylight that circus tent  

Pulled up stakes I don't know where it went  

A close dark room with a busted vent  

That's my window on the world  
 
I think about you when I'm countin' sheep  

I think about you, then I can't sleep  

I think the ocean is just so deep  

That's my window on the world  
 
Chorus 
  
That's my window on the world  

Could you stand a little closer, girl  

The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earl  

That's my window on the world  
 
Down on Indiana Avenue  

Wes and Jimmy, man they played the blues  

I guess they were only passin' through  

That's my window on the world  
 
 
E               A      E  
That's my window on the world  
C#m                     A       E 
Could you stand a little closer, girl  
C#m           A         B 
Don't let mama cut those curls  
                         E 
That's my window on the world  
 
 
That's my window on the world  
Could you stand a little closer, girl  
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earl  
That's my window on the world
