Verse: (0:21)
 G                  F
 The shackles are undone
                      Em
 The bullets quit the gun
                       C
 The heat thats in the sun
                           G
 Will keep us when there's none
                      D
 The rule has been disproved
                    C
 The stone has been moved
                    G
 The grain is now a groove
                 A
 All debts are removed, oooh

Chorus: (0:45)
              G            D        Am
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
              G            D        Am
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
              G            D        Am
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
                    D
 What it's doing to me

Verse: (1:08)
 G                     F
 Love makes strange enemies
                           Em
 Makes love where love may please
                   C
 Soul in its strip tease
                     G
 Hate brought to its knees
              D
 The sky over our head
                           C
 We can reach it from our bed
                       G
 If you let me in your heart
               A
 And out of my head

 Love left a window in the skies
        D
 And to love I rhapsodize

"Love is the beauty of the soul." - Augustine

The title of this song and its lyrics remind me of Augustine's view of the inner self.
when one looks inward to the "rooms" within does one find an open courtyard with no
... one that is open ... one that provides an upward look to God ... a type of "window 
the sky" so to speak. This window was put there by God/Love in each of us and hence the
form "Windows in the Skies".
