[Intro]
 
Bb
 
Bb
Another day in Lockdown as panic grips the nation
Bb
Another day of quarantine and utter isolation
Eb                 Bb
Thank God I have a window
Eb                 Bb
Thank God I have a view
Eb                        Gm                 C7        F
Across the street another window and in that window is you...
 
[Verse 1]
 
Eb
 
Eb
  Day twenty-one: I noticed you, you played the clarinet
Eb
  Day twenty-four: You sort of waved and that was how we met
Ab
  Day twenty-nine: At 2am we both were up too late
Eb
  I poured some wine, you raised a glass like we were on a date
Bbm           Eb      Ab   C7
  A really nice first date
 
[Chorus]
 
Db         Dbm/E
You there across the way,
Ab/Eb           Bb/D
Just above the shuttered sushi bar
Db       Dbm/E
  I don’t know your name
Ab/Eb         Bb/D            Dbm/E
  and I don’t know who you are
         Ab/Eb         Bb/D        Bb/F     Bbm
But 60ft     has never felt so clo-o-ose
         Eb      Ab     C7
So close   and yet   so far
 
[Verse 2}
 
F
  Day 32: I washed my hands, you made a Cornish Hen
F
  Day 36: You sowed a mask, I washed my hands again
Bb
  Day 43: We both ate lunch on windowsills that day
F
We felt the breeze and dreamed of France, a chic outdoor café
Bbm         Eb     Ab   C7
  A ‘Très bien’ café
 
[Chorus]
Db          Dbm/E
You there, across the way
Ab/Eb         Bb/D
Laughing as I play my air guitar
Db       Dbm/E
I don’t know your name
Ab/Eb         Bb/D            Dbm/E
  and I don’t know who you are
Dbm/E       Ab/Eb        Bb/D        Bb/F
  But 60ft    has never felt so clo-o-ose
Bbm         Eb      Ab     C7
   So close   and yet ...
 
[Bridge]
F7         Bb7             F7                     Bb
So Far I’m asymptomatic, except for a bad case of FOMO
      F7                     Bb7                    C7  N.C.
and a slightly distressing unhealthy obsession with Gavin and Andrew Cuomo!
 
[Verse 3]
G
  Day 48: Yeah that’s today I see your beaming face
G
  You’re holding up a hand-made sign that says “My name is Grace!”
N.C.
Grace … of course your name is Grace
 
[Chorus]
Db         Dbm/E
You there across the way,
Ab/Eb           Bb/D
Just above the shuttered sushi bar
Db       Dbm/E
Now I know your name
Ab/Eb        Bb
  and I want to know who you are
Dbm/E        Ab/Eb                  Bb/D      Bb
  But 60 feet  has never felt so clo-o-ose
Bbm       Eb      Ab     C7
  So Close  and yet ...
Bbm       Eb      Ab     C7
  So close and yet ….
Db             Ab5/Eb
  Hello Grace…
           N.C.       Ab
My name is Anthony...
