THE WINDOW UP ABOVE
words and music: George Jones
I’ve been living a [E] new way of [A] life that I love [E]so [A]
[E]But I can see the [A] clouds are [E] gathering
And the [A] storm will wreck our [E] home [A]
[E] For last night he hugged you [A] tightly
And you didn’t even [E] shove
This is true for I’ve been [B7] watching
>From the window up a[E]bove [A]
You must have thought I was sleeping and I wish that I had been
But it’s best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I’ve been watching from the window up above
>From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope he makes you happy and you will never lose his love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above
[E] How I [E7] wish I could be [A] dreaming
And wake up to a love that’s [E] true [B+]
[E] But I was wrong for I’ve been [B7] watching [Em]
[B7]From the window up a[E]bove [A]
[E] From the [A] window up a[E]bove [B7] [E6/9]
