CHorses by my window go
When you're Ffast asleep far below
And I hCope that you never knGsus2ow
That while you Fsleep I still find Fsus2time for my old ghosts
C
AmSee I was born just Cyesterday
And I Ftry to tell my feet to stay but they wCon't
You know it's hGsus2ard to find a friend
But I'm dCumb and I might change my mind again
When it's sFlow I think I'd rather Gsus2die
Then pass this Foff on some uFsus2nsuspecting child
CAngie came to me today
And said she was Fborn to lead but not to say
That she Cknows there's no Gsus2hope
Of making Fgood on all those pFsus2romises that she wrote
C
AmSurely there's been Csome mistake
Some bFlind omission or a spot for change but Cno
You know it's Gsus2hard to find a friend
But I'm Cdumb and I might change my mind again
When I'm Flow I still look to gGsus2hosts
To keep a cool Feye on the hFsus2and that holds my throat
AmSee I was born just Cyesterday
And I Ftry to tell my feet to stay but they Cwon't

Horses by my window go

When you're fast asleep far below

C Gsus2

And I hope that you never know

F Fsus2

That while you sleep I still find time for my old ghosts

Am C

See I was born just yesterday

F C

And I try to tell my feet to stay but they won't

Gsus2

You know it's hard to find a friend

But I'm dumb and I might change my mind again

F Gsus2

When it's slow I think I'd rather die

F Fsus2

Then pass this off on some unsuspecting child

Angie came to me today

And said she was born to lead but not to say

C Gsus2

That she knows there's no hope

F Fsus2

Of making good on all those promises that she wrote

Am C

Surely there's been some mistake

F C

Some blind omission or a spot for change but no

Gsus2

You know it's hard to find a friend

But I'm dumb and I might change my mind again

F Gsus2

When I'm low I still look to ghosts

F Fsus2

To keep a cool eye on the hand that holds my throat

Am C

See I was born just yesterday

F C

And I try to tell my feet to stay but they won't
