Waving Through A Window

(from "Dear Evan Hansen" soundtrack)

Capo: 2nd fret


[Intro]
 
G   Em/G   G
G   Em/G   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G               Em/G        G     Em/G   G
I’ve learned to slam on the brake
G             Em/G     G    Em/G   G
Before I even turn the key
G        Em/G     G       Em/G   G
Before I make the mistake
G        Em/G          G           Em/G   G
Before I lead with the worst of me
G            Em/G      G      Em/G   G
Give them no reason to stare
G           Em/G  G         Em/G   G
No slipping up if you slip away
G        Em/G       G     Em/G   G
So I got nothing to share
G           Em/G       G    Em/G   G
No I’ve got nothing to say
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em             C
Step out, step out of the sun
       G           D
If you keep getting burned
Em             C
Step out, step out of the sun
  G
Because you’ve learned
  D
Because you’ve learned
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
On the outside
C
Always looking in
       G            D
Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
          Em                       C
Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass
    G                D
I’m waving through a window
Em                 C
I try to speak but nobody can hear
G                      D
So I wait around for an answer to appear
          Em                            C
While I’m watch, watch, watching people pass
    G                D     Em
I’m waving through a window
            D
Can anybody see?
                          G    C
Is anybody waving back at me?
 
 
G   D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
We start with stars in our eyes
C                          D
We start believing that we belong
Bm                    D
But every sun doesn’t rise
G                          C        D
And nobody tells you where you went wrong
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em             C
Step out, step out of the sun
       G           D
If you keep getting burned
Em             C
Step out, step out of the sun
  G
Because you’ve learned
  D
Because you’ve learned
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
On the outside
C
Always looking in
       G            D
Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
          Em                       C
Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass
    G                D
I’m waving through a window
Em                 C
I try to speak but nobody can hear
G                      D
So I wait around for an answer to appear
          Em                            C
While I’m watch, watch, watching people pass
    G                D     Em
I’m waving through a window
            D
Can anybody see?
 
Is anybody waving?
 
 
[Interlude]
 
            G           D                   Em     C
When you’ve fallen in a forest, and there’s nobody around
       G           D        Em          C
do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
(x4)
 
 
[Bridge]
 
      Em          C
Did I even make a sound?
      G           D
Did I even make a sound?
            Em           C
It’s like I never made a sound
       G
Will I ever make a sound?
 
 
[Chorus]
