[Intro]
F Bb F
[Verse 1]
F
I can hear the wheels of automobiles
Bb C F Bb F
So far away, just moving along through the drifting snow
F
It's times like these when the temperatures freeze
Bb C F
I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
Bbm F
Down on the beach the sandman sleeps
Bbm F
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps
Bbm F
And a country band that plays for keeps
C C7
They play it so slow
[Chorus]
F Bb C
Don't let your baby down
F Bb C
Don't let your baby down
F Bb C
Don't let your baby down
[Interlude]
F Bb F C
[Verse 2]
F
Well, the spirits were high 'til the well went dry
Bb C F Bb F
For so long the raven at my window was only a crow
F
I bought the rights to the inside fights
Bb C F
Watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window
Bbm F
While miles away o'er hills and streams
Bbm F
A candle burns a witch's dreams
Bbm F
Silence is golden 'til it screams
C C7
Right through your bones
[Chorus]
F Bb C
Don't let your baby down
F Bb C
Don't let your baby down
F Bb C
Don't let your baby down
[Interlude]
F Bb F
[Bridge]
C Bb F
Storm windows, gee well I'm getting old
C G C C7
Storm windows keep away the cold
