Melissa - Come To My Window guitar tab
Come to My Window
-- Melissa Etheridge
Chorus
G C D
Come to my window
G C D
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
G C D
Come to my window
G C D
I'll be home soon.
C G D
C G
I could dial the numbers
D
Just to listen to your breath
C G
I would stand inside my hell
D
And hold the hand of death
C G
You don't know how far I'd go
D
Just to ease this precious ache
C G
You don't know how much I'd give
D
Or how much I can take
Em C D
Just to reach you
Em C D
Just to reach you
Em C D
Oh to reach you
Chorus
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
Chorus
Em
I don't know what they think
C
I don't care what they say
Am D
What do they know about this love anyway
Chorus
--
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)):
