Chorus 1:
          Bm                        D
From this second story window I can hear the church bells
               A          E/G#     F#m
calling out my name. This table is set for one
     Bm                                  D         Dm(hold)
Even angels would be homesick in this forsaken town


Verse 2:
A                    E/G#                        F#m
  On random notes of parchment I'm scrawling my existence
           D           A                              E/G#
Dressed in white, This candle radiates throughout the night
                       F#m        D
And it's never burning out, Never burning out


Chorus 2:
          Bm                        D
From this second story window I can hear the children
              A             E/G#          F#m
down on Main Street They're singing their songs tonight
       Bm                              D
In the shadows, I will listen to their every movement


Bridge:
F#m         A             D
  Mr. Higginson, Am I not good enough for the world?
     F#m              A                     D
Am I destined only to die the same way that I lived...
in seclusion


Chorus 3:
     Bm                             D
From high up on this mountain I can almost see
                  A             E/G#      F#m
your lonely windowsill, They'll carry you off tonight
          Bm
There's a ghost in your old bedroom
      D              Dm(hold)
And a candle burning bright


Outro:
A             E/G#                              F#m(hold)
  If I died tomorrow Would this song live on forever?
