Come [C]over to the window my little [Dm]darling

Well you [C]know that I love to [Dm]live with you

We [C]met when we were [Dm]almost young

Your [C]letters they all say that you're be-[Dm]side me now

Is [Am]fastening my ankle to a [G]stone [Gsus4] [G] [G7]

{ci: Chorus}

For [C]now I need your [Dm]hidden love
[F]I'm cold as a new razor [C]blade

Oh [C]you are really such a [Dm]pretty one
[F]I see you've gone and changed your [C]name again
[Bb]And just when I climbed this [F]whole mountainsid
