This is an approximation of the Charango chords on guitar, and so is in a lower octave.
[Intro]
  C    Em   Am   Am(x2)
F  C  G  Am
[Verse 1]
This Croom has a Emwindow that Amcalls,
That Ctells you you’ve Embeen there Ambefore,
A Fsundial in the Csky,
The only reminder of the Gdays passing Amby.
CYou my old Emsolitary Amfriend,
For Cyou I would Emwait til the Amend,
Just Frunning down the Ctime,
With all of our yesterdays Gleft far Ambehind
[Chorus]
Your Dmdebts have all been Ampaid,
DmSo go on and walk AmawayEm.
I Dmhope out there you’ll Amstay on,
CWhere we won’t Gcry no Ammore.
[Instrumental]
  Am    C    G   Am(x2)
[Verse 2]
The Ctruth turns the Emneedle through the Amnorth,
And Ctrusts us to Emfollow its Amcourse,
But Fsometimes it’s the Clie,
That takes the day trembling in Gall its Amdenial.
Now Conly one Emruling is Amleft,
When Cno one belEmieves they’ll be Amnext,
And Ftrails too far to Cfind,
If every damn stranger’s got Gsomething to Amhide.
[Chorus]
But Dmguards are overAmthrown,
The way is wide Dmopen for all who’d Amgo,Em  
It’s Dmnever been so Amclose now,
and Cthere we won’t Gcry no Ammore.
[Instrumental]
  Am    C    G   Am(x2)
[Outro]
And Cthere we won’t Gcry no Ammore.
CThere we won’t Gcry no Ammore.
CThere we won't Gcry no Ammore.
CThere we won't Gcry no Ammore.

F C G Am

[Verse 1]

C Em Am

This room has a window that calls,

C Em Am

That tells you you’ve been there before,

F C

A sundial in the sky,

The only reminder of the days passing by.

The truth turns the needle through the north,

And trusts us to follow its course,

But sometimes it’s the lie,

Now only one ruling is left,

When no one believes they’ll be next,

And trails too far to find,

G Am

If every damn stranger’s got something to hide.

[Chorus]

The way is wide open for all who’d go,

Dm Am

It’s never been so close now,
