[Intro]
C#m7   A

[Verse 1]
C#m7
I had died the tiniest death
I spied the catch
 in your breath
A
Out, out, out, out,
 out, out
C#m7
Northbound I got
 carried away
As you boarded your train
A
South, south, south,
 south, south, south

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m7
 A feather taken by
the wind blowing
A
 I’m afflicted by
 the not knowing so

[Chorus]
C#m7       B
 I look in people’s windows
A
 Transfixed by rose
golden glows
C#m7             B
 They have their friends
         A           C#m7
 over to drink nice wine
          B
I look in people’s windows
A
 In case you’re at their table
C#m7          B
 What if your eyes looked
        A
up and met mine
         C#m7   A
One more time

[Verse 2]
C#m7
You had stopped and
 tiltеd your head

I still ponder what
 it meant
A
Now, now, now, now,
now, now
C#m7
I triеd searching
 faces on streets

What are the chances
 you’d be
A
Downtown, downtown,
 downtown?

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m7
Does it feel alright
 to not know me?
A
I’m addicted to the
“if only”

[Chorus]
C#m7       B
 I look in people’s windows
A
 Like I’m some deranged
weirdo
C#m7      B
 I attend Christmas
         A        C#m7
parties from outside
          B
I look in people’s windows
A
 In case you’re at
their table
C#m7          B
 What if your eyes
               A
looked up and met mine
         C#m7   A
One more time
