Open Up My Window

Christopher Cross


Tom: Db

G     C
Every night
  D/F#       Em
I open up my window
 Bm        Em
Open up my window
     C               D/F#
And let your love come in  

Am                    Em
Every night that I'm away from you
        Am
This old bed seems way too big
       Em
And my dreams so small
Am
Goin' through the motions
     Em
As I stare out from my room
  F           Em
I begin to realize
           C                D/F#
That we're sharin' the same moon

Am                     Em
Lying here hugging my pillow in the dark
Am
Dreaming of your comfort
              Em
Fightin' the lonely in my heart
      Am
And I thought I felt you touch me
        Em
In that old familiar way
       F                      Em
When the wind came through the curtains
      C                  D/F#
And I heard it call your name

G#m                A
Oh the time goes draggin' by
G#m             A
Send my love across the sky
         F#m              B
Maybe it's all that I can do
     A                  B7
Baby until I'll be with you

[Solo] G  C  D/F#  Em  Bm  Em  C  D/F#  

Am                                 Em
I missed you girl more than you'll ever know
      Am                         Em
And I kept a little vigil by my window
     Am
It's funny but it's true
          Em
Darlin' I did the same for you
       F              Em
Now no matter where we are
   C                 D/F#
We can wish upon that star
