Come to My Window
-- Melissa Etheridge
Chorus
[G]Come [C]to my [D]window
[G]Crawl [C]inside, [D]wait by the light of the moon
[G]Come [C]to my [D]window
I'll be home [G]so[C]on[D].
[C] [G] [D]
[C]I could dial the [G]numbers
Just to [D]listen to your breath
[C]I would stand [G]inside my hell
And [D]hold the hand of death
[C]You don't know how [G]far I'd go
Just to [D]ease this precious ache
[C]You don't know how [G]much I'd give
Or how m[D]uch I can take
Just to reach [Em]you[C][D]
Just to reach [Em]you[C][D]
Oh to reach [Em]you[C][D]
Chorus
Keeping my eyes open
I can not afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am foresaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you
Chorus
[Em]I don't know what they think
[C]I don't care what they say
[Am]What do they know about this love [D]anyway
Chorus

Melissa plays this song in the key of 'G'; I put a capo on the 3rd or 4th
fret to accommodate my maleness (this puts it in the key of 'Bb' (3rd
fret) or B (4th fret)):
Come to My Window -- Melissa Etheridge
CHORUS: (softly and slowly as INTRO)
[G]Come [C]to my [Am7]window[D]
C[G]rawl ins[C]ide, [Am7]wait by the l[D]ight of the m[G]oon
Come [C]to my [Am7]window, I[D]'ll be home soon
C G D (4 times, aggressively)
[C]I would dial the n[G]umbers
Just to l[D]isten to your breath
And [C]I would stand ins[G]ide my hell
And h[D]old the hand of death
Y[C]ou don't know how f[G]ar I'd go
Just to e[D]ase this precious ache
Y[C]ou don't know how m[G]uch I'd give
Or h[D]ow much I can take
Just to r[Em]each you,[C] just to r[D]each you, oh, to r[Em]each you[C][D]
CHORUS
Keeping my eyes open, I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises, I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness that has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood, I am foresaking all the rest
Just to reach you, just to reach you, oh, to reach you
CHORUS
[Em] I don't care what they they think
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] I don't care what they say
[C] [G] [Am] What do they know about this love a[D]nywa[Dsus4]y[D]
G C Am7 D (twice, arpeggiated, not strummed)
Co[C]me, c[G]ome to my w[D]indow, I'll be home
