Capo: 2 Tuning:

Intro G (with steps)and Am This is a simplified version; Chris plays this song finger style with a predominant walkup/down on the G chord shape B string. See previous tab version for steps Capo 2 (chord shapes relative) key=B minor (verse)

^GThe clouds that gathered turned to rain ^GThe candles on your sill burned out ^AmThe weather on your face ^EmTurned to ^Cmatch the mood ^Goutside ^GReading through poems that you saved ^GThat make the gloomy hours make sense ^AmOr do they lose their power ^EmWith the ^Cyellowing of ^Gage

(Chorus)

^CI saw you suffering ^GThrough a foggy window in the ^Drain When you thought no one was ^Emwatching, yeah ^CGoing through your memories ^GLike so many prisons to ^Descape And become someone ^Emelse ^AmWith another face ^CAnd another name ^GNo more suffering

(verse)

^GYou sold the best of yourself out ^GOn a chain of grey and white lies ^AmOne syllable at a time ^EmYou should have made them ^Cpay A higher^G price

(Chorus)

^CI saw you suffering ^GThrough the cracked and dirty window ^Dpane,

I was ashamed that I was

^Emwatching, yeah ^CGoing through your imagination ^GLooking for a life you could ^Dcreate And become somebody ^Emelse, yeah ^AmWith another face ^CWith another name ^DNo more suffering

(strum)

^AmI wish that I could find ^Ca seed ^CAnd plant a tree that grows so ^Ghigh ^GSo that I could climb

And harvest the ripe stars

^AmFor you and I to drink ^CAnd spit the ashes from our mouths ^EmAnd put the grey back in the clouds

And send them packing with our bags

^DOf old regrets and sorrows 'Cause they don't do a thing but drag us down

So far down (verse, back to finger style)

^GThe past is like a braided rope ^GEach moment tightly coiled inside

(chorus/finish)

^CI saw you suffering ^GThrough the yellow window of a ^Dtrain ^DWith everybody ^Emwatching, yeah ^CToo tired for imagining ^GThat you could ever love somebody ^Delse ^DFrom somewhere f^Emar away ^AmFrom another time ^CFrom another place ^AmWith another life ^EmAnd another face ^DAnd another name ^DAnd another name ^GNo more suffering
