[Intro]

C F

[Verse 1]

I was staring out the window

The whole time he was talking to me

It was a filthy pane of glass

I couldn't get a clear view

And as he went on and on

F Eb

It wasn't the outside world I could see

C Bb F

Just the filthy pane that I was looking through

[Chorus]

F E

So I had to break the window

F E

It just had to be

F E

Better that I break the window

Am F D

Than him or her or me

[Verse 2]

I was never focused on just one thing

My eyes got fixed when my mind got so

It may look like I'm concentrated on

F Eb

A very clear view

But I'm as good as asleep

F Eb

I bet you didn't know

It'd take a lot of it away

F Eb

If you do

[Chorus]

F E

I had to break the window

F E

It just had to be

F E

Better that I break the window

Am F D

Than him or her or me

F E

I had to break the window

F E

It just had to be

It was in my way

F E

Better that I break the window

Am F D

Than forget what I had to say

Am F D

Or miss what I should see

[Bridge]

Because the fact being that

Whatever's in front of me

Is covering my view

So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact

I only see what I'm looking through

E F E Am E D

[Verse 3]

So again I've done the right thing

I was never worried about that

C Am Eb

The answer's always been in clear view

But even when the window was cleaned

F Am

I still can't see for the fact

That when it's clean

Bb Dm G

It's so clear I can't tell what I'm looking through

[Chorus 3]

F E

So I had to break the window

F E

It just had to be

It was in my way

F E

Better that I break the window

Am F D

Than him or her or me

F E

I had to break the window

F E

It just had to be

It was in my way

F E

Better that I break the window

Am F D

Than miss what I should see

F E

I had to break the window

F E

It just had to be

It was in my way

F E

Better that I break the window

Am F D

Than forget what I had to say

Am F D

Or miss what I should see

Am F D

Or break him or her or me

Am F D

Especially me

Am F D
