Fairly Simple Song, Just 4 Chords
Capo 1
   x4

                           
I thought I heard you pulling up outside
                             
It's just the wind whistlin' through the pines
                     
I haven't seen who I'm looking for
                      
Just empty shadows in my open door
                        
The empty closet where you hung your clothes
                       
The empty hooks where you hung your coat
                     
The cellar steps or the kitchen floor
                               
They don't catch shadows like an open door

     x2

                      
Do open windows keep the rain away?
                  
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
                           
I thought an open door would bring you in
                      
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again


I find myself hoping for a storm
Each silver lining is a crown of thorns
I find myself hoping the rain
You dont see shadows on a cloudy day
Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out
They'll all agree with what I'm talking about
They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before
They'd ever set foot in an open door


Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again


Im saving nickles and Im saving dimes
Im gonna kiss you where the sun dont shine
And all them shadows gonna kiss them too
As long as they come in with you


Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
