Winter Windows

Chords

Standard

Dm
There is a man inside a room in the forest
He sits alone upon the chair his father left him
G                   F                          Dm
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark with the radio on

Dm
The voice crackles when it says that God will save you
He will take you from the lonely life you're living
G            F                              Dm   
If you give, if you give, if you give up on what you want

Dm
The man stands and pours himself another bourbon
                                                  G
He stops and watches the birds through the winter windows
        F                             Dm
And the light, and the light from the morning dew

Dm
"I thought I love you and our love would be forever
                                           G
How could I hit you, the only one who ever loved me?"
         F                        Dm
Said the man, said the man to his shadow

Am                                 Am/G# G
This is the world, this is the world we live in
             Dm               F                  C
It's not the one I choose but it's the one we're given

Am                                 Am/G# G
This is the world, this is the world we live in
                 Dm                  C           Dm
And it's through winter windows that ends become beginnings
Yep!

Dm          
As a boy he was taught he was the bad one
One that could heed the other, the protector
G                    F                            Dm
He will walk, he will walk, he will walk into the river

Dm  
Sixty years held down by his brother
Ten years with the ghost of his father
G                       F                            Dm
And five years since he spoke, since he spoke to his only son

Am                                 Am/G# G
This is the world, this is the world we live in
             Dm               F                  C
It's not the one I choose but it's the one we're given
Am                             Am/G#     G
This is the world, this is the world we live in
                 Dm                  C             Dm
And it's through winter windows that ends become beginnings
                  Dm                  C             Dm
Yes, it's through winter windows that ends become beginnings
