Come to My Window
   -- Melissa Etheridge

Chorus

G    C     D
Come to my window
G     C       D
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
G    C     D
Come to my window
             G C D
I'll be home soon.

C G D
C                G
I could dial the numbers
        D
Just to listen to your breath
C             G
I would stand inside my hell
    D
And hold the hand of death
C                  G
You don't know how far I'd go
        D
Just to ease this precious ache
C                  G
You don't know how much I'd give
        D
Or how much I can take
              Em C D
Just to reach you
              Em C D
Just to reach you
            Em C D
Oh to reach you

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                                D
What do they know about this love anyway

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)):
