Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  thought I heard  you pulling up  outside
It's  just the wind  whistlin' through  the pines
I  haven't seen  who I'm looking  for
Just  empty shadows  in my open  door
The  empty closet  where you hung  your clothes
The  empty hooks  where you hung  your coat
The  cellar steps  or the kitchen  floor
They  don't catch  shadows like an open  door
 x2
Do  open windows  keep the rain  away?
Do  open  eyes keep the  ghosts at bay?
I  thought an open  door would bring  you in
I  guess I'm  gonna have to  guess again
 I find myself hoping for a storm
 Each silver lining is a crown of thorns
 I find myself hoping the rain
 You dont see shadows on a cloudy day
 Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out
 They'll all agree with what I'm talking about
 They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before
 They'd ever set foot in an open door
 Do open windows keep the rain away?
 Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
 I thought an open door would bring you in
 I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
 Im saving nickles and Im saving dimes
 Im gonna kiss you where the sun dont shine
 And all them shadows gonna kiss them too
 As long as they come in with you
 Do open windows keep the rain away?
 Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
 I thought an open door would bring you in
 I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
 I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
 I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
 I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

[F]I haven't [G]seen who I'm [Am]looking for
[F]Just empty [G7]shadows in my [C]open door
[F]The empty [G7]closet where you [C]hung your clothes
[F]The empty [G7]hooks where you [C]hung your coat
[F]The cellar [G7]steps or the [Am]kitchen floor
[F]They don't [G]catch shadows like an [C]open door

[F]  [G7]  [C] x2

[F]Do open [G7]windows keep the [C]rain away?
[F]Do open[G7] eyes keep the[C] ghosts at bay?
[F]I thought an [G7]open door would [C]bring you in
[F]I guess I'm[G7] gonna have to[C] guess again

I find myself hoping for a storm
Each silver lining is a crown of thorns
I find myself hoping the rain
You dont see shadows on a cloudy day
Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out
They'll all agree with what I'm talking about
They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before
They'd ever set foot in an open door

Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

Im saving nickles and Im saving dimes
Im gonna kiss you where the sun dont shine
And all them shadows gonna kiss them too
As long as they come in with you

Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
