[Intro]
C C C C
C C C C
[Chorus]
C F C
I wish that I could tell you what I'm thinkin about
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
C F C
No one else around except for you and me
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
[Verse 1]
C F C
I wish that I could tell you that I could use a hand
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could write it like Townes Van Zandt
C F C
Maybe you could be the bandit, I'll remain the fool
Am F C
You can lead me up the mountain, I'll be real good mule
[Instrumental]
C F C Am F C
[Verse 2]
C F C
Well, I'm slow in revealing when I'm feelin far away
Am F C
When I'm swimmin in a memory, lie all night awake
C F C
Just there diggin for the feeling, put another down
Am F C
Oh, I'm payin in the morning, head nailed to the ground
[Chorus]
C F C
And I wish that I could tell you what I'm thinkin about
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
C F C
No one else around except for you and me
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
[Verse 3]
C F C
If I'm remembering correctly, it was a long brown pew
Am F C
Through the window of the diner, you were playing with your food
C F C
And the TV talked to no one, the ten o’clock news
Am F C
They were panning over pictures of little boy's shoes
[Bridge]
Am F C
And my heart was sinking down, down to my dirty brown boots
Am F G
And I pressed my face against the glass, peered around the room
C Am F C
At all the brokenhearted people in a great white tomb
[Chorus]
C F C
And I wish that I could tell you what I'm thinkin about
Am F C
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
C F C
No one else around except for you and me
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
Am F C
Those summer windows open, breathing deep
[Outro]
C C C
I wish that I could tell you
What I'm thinkin' about
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
No one else around 'cept for you and me
Those summer windows open
Breathing deep
I wish that I could tell you
That I could use a hand
Oh, I wish that I could write it like Townes Van Zandt
Maybe you could be the bandit
I'll remain the fool
You can lead me up the mountain
I'll be real good mule
Well I'm slow in revealing
When I'm feelin far away
When I'm swimmin' in a memory
Lie all night awake
Just there diggin' for the feeling
Put another down
Oh, I'm payin in the morning
Head nailed to the ground
And I wish that I could tell you
What I'm thinkin' about
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
No one else around 'cept for you and me
Those summer windows open
Breathing deep
If I'm remembering correctly
It was a long brown pew
Through the window of the diner
You were playing with your food
And the TV talked to no one
The 10 o'clock news
They were panning over pictures
Of little boy's shoes
And my heart was sinking down, down
To my dirty brown boots
And I pressed my face against the glass
Peered around the room
At all the brokenhearted people
In a great white tomb
And I wish that I could tell you
What I'm thinkin' about
Oh, I wish that I could walk into your house
No one else around 'cept for you and me
Those summer windows open
Breathing deep
Those summer windows open
Breathing deep
