Guitar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting by the window of your
Thirty-second floor apartment
Waiting for your phone calls
All to end
I'm sitting, watching wind blow, watching
Time go, watching cars go by
I'm waiting for these
Memories to begin

[Chorus]
If I threw my guitar
Out the window, so far down
Would I start to regret it?
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall
Fall, yeah


[Verse 2]
Garbage trucks and taxi cabs
Don't seem like they can reach me here
The clamor of jackhammers
Seems so faint
Well, the way you treat me lightly only
Slightly brings me down a lot
I don't think that I'll ever
Be the same
[Chorus]
Yeah, if I threw my guitar
Out the window, so far down

Would I start to regret it?
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall
Fall

[Outro]
Fall, fall
Fall
Fall, fall
Fall
Fall, fall
Fall
Fall, fall

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
