Verse: (0:21)
 G                  F
 The shackles are undone
                      Em
 The bullets quit the gun
                       C
 The heat thats in the sun
                           G
 Will keep us when there's none
                      D
 The rule has been disproved
                    C
 The stone has been moved
                    G
 The grain is now a groove
                 A
 All debts are removed, oooh

Chorus: (0:45)
              G            D        Am
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
              G            D        Am
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
              G            D        Am
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
                    D
 What it's doing to me

Verse: (1:08)
 G                     F
 Love makes strange enemies
                           Em
 Makes love where love may please
                   C
 Soul in its strip tease
                     G
 Hate brought to its knees
              D
 The sky over our head
                           C
 We can reach it from our bed
                       G
 If you let me in your heart
               A
 And out of my head

Chorus: (1:32)
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
 Oh can't you see what our love has done
 What it's doing to me

 F#m      B

 Oh can't you see
              G        D        Am
 Oh can't you see what love has done
                     D
 What it's doing to me

Chorus Freestyle: (2:50)
             G              D        Am
 Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
                    G      D       Am
 Did everything but murder you and I
     G           D             Am
 But love left a window in the skies
        D
 And to love I rhapsodize

Chorus Freestyle 2: (3:11)
              G        D        Am
 Oh can't you see what love has done to every broken heart
              G        D        Am
 Oh can't you see what love has done for every heart that cries
 G           D             Am
 Love left a window in the skies
        D
 And to love I rhapsodize

 ........... Oh can't you see ...........

"Love is the beauty of the soul." - Augustine

The title of this song and its lyrics remind me of Augustine's view of the inner self.
when one looks inward to the "rooms" within does one find an open courtyard with no
... one that is open ... one that provides an upward look to God ... a type of "window 
the sky" so to speak. This window was put there by God/Love in each of us and hence the
form "Windows in the Skies".
