 At  the  window  by  yourself
C                 Bb
 I'm outside with everyone else
C                 Bb
 hold  yourself  against the chill and
Dm7               G
look  at  me with no expression
C                 Bb
 in  the  eyes  I know  so  well
C                 Bb
 is  a  question  and  a  spell
C                 Bb

 driving  off   into  the  night
C                   Bb
 I look up when the moon comes out then
Dm7               G
shut the gate and go inside
C                 Bb
 more   distant   every   day
C                 Bb
 I will ask  but  you  won't  say

 Do I watch  the  sky  too  much  fa-

      the   stars   appeared but they're always 
Dm7                   G
there  up  above  the day
Dm7                   G
