Door Ajar

F         Am                  F
I hit my head on the pillow, hard
           Am                  A#
I heard a noise from the boulevard
       Dm7   C     Am  F
And it made me go down
            Am               F
I left the door to my room ajar
          Am                   A#
Felt the rumble of the street-car
       Dm7 C        Am  F Am F Am
And it spiralled me down

Chorus:
                  D
If you could see me
              A
Swallowed by darkness
               C    G
What would it matter
           D
Would it awaken
             A
Feelings forsaken
            C       Bm
Faded and scattered
                D
Would you come running
              A
If you could hear me
              C    G
Some way or another
                     D
That's what I'm thinking
               A                   C     Bm
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter

       F  Am
Door Ajar
       F  Am
Door Ajar

I hit my heard on the pillow, hard
I took the words that you said to heart
And it made me feel down
When I awoke it was dark outside
Just a flicker from a traffic light
And it signalled me down

Chorus:
If you could see me
Swallowed in darkness
What would it matter
Would it awaken
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered
Would you come running
If you could hear me
Some way or another
That’s what I’m thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter

       F  Am
Door Ajar
       F  Am
Door Ajar
       F  Am
Door Ajar
       F  Am
Door Ajar
       F
Door Ajar
