[Verse 1]

Life was fun, life was great

'til I made my big mistake

G D

Oh no, it'd never happen to me

Life was short and life was sweet

I was thinking as I hit the street

I could hardly believe, I could scarcely conceive it, I had

[Chorus]

Gone out the window, I had

D G

Gone out the window

[Verse 2]

Oh, she was fine, she looked great

and so we made our big mistake

G D

I swear, I swear it'd never never happen to her

But the pavement knocked her head around

When she hit the solid concrete ground

From thirty flights above and she was thirty something loving nothing

[Chorus]

Gone out the window, she had

D G

Gone out the window

[Bridge]

C G

Oh, catch me if I'm falling

C G D

Catch me if I'm calling

[Verse 3]

He was smart, he was wise

He profoundly philosophized

G D

Empathy for all humanity

One day by an open window there's a note that read

"I've gone out the window, I'm dead"

He said yes to life for all his life but then one day he said

N.C.

"No, I gotta go"

[Chorus]

Out the window, here I

Go out the window, here I

D G

Go out the window

[Bridge]

Oh, catch me if I'm falling

Catch me we are

Catch me we are

(Go out the window, we all)

Catch me we are

Calling

(Go out the window)
