Window On the World 
by John Hiatt

E               A          E   
A broken promise I kept too long 
                    B
A greasy shade and a curtain drawn 
E             A                E
A broken glass and a heart gone wrong 
C#m      B         E
That's my window on the world 

E                   A     E
A cup of coffee in a shaky hand 
              B
wakin' up in a foreign land 
E                       A         E
Tryin' to act like I got somethin' planned 
C#m      B             E
That's my window on the world 


Chorus
E               A      E
That's my window on the world 
C#m                     A       E
Could you stand a little closer, girl 
C#m 	       A 	          B 	  	 
Don't let mama cut those curls 
                         E
That's my window on the world 


In broad daylight that circus tent 
Pulled up stakes I don't know where it went 
A close dark room with a busted vent 
That's my window on the world 

I think about you when I'm countin' sheep 
I think about you, then I can't sleep 
I think the ocean is just so deep 
That's my window on the world 

Chorus
 
That's my window on the world 
Could you stand a little closer, girl 
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earl 
That's my window on the world 

Down on Indiana Avenue 
Wes and Jimmy, man they played the blues 
I guess they were only passin' through 
That's my window on the world 


E               A      E 
That's my window on the world 
C#m                     A       E
Could you stand a little closer, girl 
C#m           A         B
Don't let mama cut those curls 
                         E
That's my window on the world 


That's my window on the world 
Could you stand a little closer, girl 
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earl 
That's my window on the world
