Song
Staring At Your Window
With A Suitcase In My Hand
Words & Music by Jon Bon Jovi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The intro is played with an open D and a Gmaj7 (see Chords at bottom).
* For the more experienced player
If you listen to the CD you'll notice the high note in the background, it's an F#
and an A played on the 1st string (frets 2 and 5). Jon recorded this as an overdub and
put it in the background. When you're playing alone you can overcome this by putting
the 2 together. Just play the open D or Gmaj7 and add the A note (See Chords at bottom).
The first 2 bars are just the notes, play on 1st string F# and A (frets 2 and 5).
Enjoy, Maurice Blaak

Intro D - Gmaj7
You think you know me, just because you know my name
You think you see me, 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter, if anything I'm saying is the truth.
You need somebody, somebody to hold on to
But this ain't the movies and we ain't heroes.
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night street lights buzz as the cars roll by and the night don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin' but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I said I want you.
But when we woke up, one of us was crying.
You rolled over, and all you said was "Man, I think I'm dying"
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets, 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night street lights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin' but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
The light of love can blind you till you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say goodbye
It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
Solo 4 bars
The night is fading like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says forever
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night street lights buzz as the cars roll by and the night don't give a damn
I'm getting tired of talking and I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
Fade out with solo (sha la la la la)
