C C C C
[Chorus]
C F C
I wish that I could tell you what I’m thinkin about
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
C F C
No one else around except for you and me
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
[Verse 1]
C F C
I wish that I could tell you that I could use a hand
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could write it like Townes Van Zandt
C F C
Maybe you could be the bandit, I’ll remain the fool
Am F C
You can lead me up the mountain, I’ll be real good mule
[Instrumental]
C F C Am F C
[Verse 2]
C F C
Well, I’m slow in revealing when I’m feelin far away
Am F C
When I’m swimmin in a memory, lie all night awake
C F C
Just there diggin for the feeling, put another down
Am F C
Oh, I’m payin in the morning, head nailed to the ground
[Chorus]
C F C
And I wish that I could tell you what I’m thinkin about
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
C F C
No one else around except for you and me
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
[Verse 3]
C F C
If I’m remembering correctly, it was a long brown pew
Am F C
Through the window of the diner, you were playing with your food
C F C
And the TV talked to no one, the ten o’clock news
Am F C
They were panning over pictures of little boy’s shoes
[Bridge]
Am F C
And my heart was sinking down, down to my dirty brown boots
Am F G
And I pressed my face against the glass, peered around the room
C Am F C
At all the brokenhearted people in a great white tomb
[Chorus]
C F C
And I wish that I could tell you what I’m thinkin about
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
C F C
No one else around except for you and me
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
[Outro]
