Windows of the Heart

We sit alone together
Each from our different world
Suspicious of each other
Position flags unfurled

 (capo 2) C - G Am / F - G - / C - G Am / F G C - 

So much lies broken between us
Lines of connection down
Standing in ruins of pain & mistrust
Searching for common ground

So we stumble through our points of view
Logic falls apart
In that moment of confusion
We see a place to start
Through the windows of the heart

Am G C F / - - G - / Am G C F / - - Am - / F G C - 

We sit in silence and wonder
“Where do we go from here?”
Frustration draggin’ us under
No resolution clear.

We feel the anger
This desperation to turn this world around
Each of our faces a mirror
Searchin’ for common ground.

(last chorus) So we lower our defenses
Watch ‘em fall apart
In that moment of confusion (3rd time: “communion”)
We see a place to start
Through the windows of the heart!
