G    Bm     C    G    Em   C

[Verse 1]
G                   Bm
Gone, advice from a side road
C                      G
And a dying breath and yellow oak
Em                  C
Big tall weeds and leaves of gold
G                   Bm
Now; a wasted clock hollow
        C                G
And I'm not the drowning man you think
       Em                 C
Though I flail my arms, I refuse to sink

[Chorus 1]
G          Bm            C
All I ever wanted was to see
G          Bm            C
Scottish windows opening for me
G               Am             C
It's all I ever needed in the end

[Verse 2]
G                   Bm
I saw you in a store window
C                      G
Dress the orange window glow
Em                  C
I'm walking down a winding close
G                   Bm
Gray evening fell over me
        C                G
And I saw your face, though fleetingly
       Em                 C
As the bus pulled away from me

[Chorus 2]
G          Bm            C
All I ever wanted was to see
G          Bm            C
This glimmer in your eyes as they closed on me
G               Am            C
It's all I ever needed in the end

[Bridge]
Am   D             C
You need different boots in this country
Am
I see you through the screen door
Am  D           C
   Abandoned below in the birch's bough
Bm              D
    You left me on the church floor

[Chorus 3]
G          Bm            C
All I ever wanted was to see
G          Bm            C
Scottish windows closing as I leave
G               Am             C
It's all I ever needed in the end

[Outro]
       G        Bm           C
In the end,          in the end
       G        Bm           C
In the end, in the end
       G        Bm           C
       G        Bm           C
       G        Bm           C
       G        Bm           C
