    B7 - A - B7 - E     - G - D - E

 

                                  E           - B7                           E

1. I’ve been living a new way        of life that I love so,

                                               E          - B7                                           E

but I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home.

                 E7                        A                                            E

    For last night he held you tightly and you didn’t even shove,

                                            B7                            A

    this is true for I’ve been watching (watching you)

                    B7                E

    from the window up above.        +  G - D - E

 

                                                       E       - B7                                      E

2. You must have thought I was sleeping,     Lord, I wish that I had been,

                                         E         - B7                                               E

    but it’s best to get to know you,       and the way your heart can sin.

                   E7                      A                                               E

    I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove,

                                                 B7                           A

    but I was wrong, I’ve been watching (watching you)

                  B7                 E

   from the window up above.  +  G - D - E     + B7 - A - B7 - E  - G - D - E

 

                                                     E       - B7                                  E

3. From my eyes the teardrops started         as I listened on and on,

                                                 E     - B7                                           E

    I heard you whisper to him softly       that our marriage, it’s all wrong.

               E7                            A                                                  E

    And I hope he makes you happy and you will never lose his love,

                                          B7                            A

    I lost mine while I was watching (watching you)

                   B7                 E

    from the window up above.     +  G - D - E

                                          B7                            A

    I lost mine while I was watching (watching you)

                    B7                E

    from the window up above.    +  G - D - E      - G - D - E
