C C/B Am Am/G
I saw the lamplight from your window,
G Am Ab6
I didn't think you were home, sitting there... all alone,

So I came up to your room to ask you why,
D/F# Em
Why did you hurt me so?

I never wanted anything in my life,
G Am Ab6
Not until I met you, I thought you'd... see me through...
C G/B Am Am/G
...All the bad days that I'd had, before I met you,
D/F# Em
Something... in the past, never thought it...

C C/B Am Am/G
And now I look down from your window,
G Am Ab6
To see a young man across the street, he looks ...something like me,

Did you wanna hurt me so?
