Come to My Window Lyrics

Come to My Window
-- Melissa Etheridge
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon.
I could dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
Just to ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you
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
I don't know what they think
I don't care what they say
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)):
Come to My Window -- Melissa Etheridge
CHORUS: (softly and slowly as INTRO)
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
C G D (4 times, aggressively)
I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
And I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
Just to ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take
Just to reach you, just to reach you, oh, to reach you
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
I don't care what they they think
us2
I don't care what they say
us4
What do they know about this love anyway
G C Am7 D (twice, arpeggiated, not strummed)
Come, come to my window, I'll be home
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'm comin' home
