 The D/Cis the walk-down bass note between the D and Bm.
 If you don't know what this means then dont worry bout it.
 It is optional and sounds fine without it (hence the parenthesis) :)
 When the storm won't end
 On your raging  sea
 When you've all but given  up
 Float back to me
 When the waves come down
 And your arms  get weak
 When you're tired of bailing  out
 Float back to me
 'Cause I can see sunlight
 Through my window
 If you open  your eyes you'll
 Find  your way back home
 Through my window
 If you open  your eyes you'll
 Find  your way back home
 When you're all alone
 Stuck  in the dark
 When you've lost your way  in life
 I won't be far
 When the seasons change
 And you fall  apart
 When the winter chill  is near
 I won't be far
 'Cause I can see sunlight
 Through my window
 If you open  your eyes you'll
 Find  your way back home
 Through my window
 If you open  your eyes you'll
 Find  your way back home
Baby,  Can you hear  me? Come home~
Baby,  I need you near  me, Come home~
 home

 'Cause I can see sunlight
 Through my window
 If you open  your eyes you'll
 Find  your way back home
 Through my window
 If you open  your eyes you'll
 Find  your way back home
 Well it's lonely now
 In this hotel  room
 And these sheets are empty,  love
 Waiting for you...

When the storm won't [D]end
On your r[D/C#]aging s[Bm]ea
When you've all but g[G]iven up [Gm]
Float back to [D]me

When you're tired of [G]bailing out [Gm]
Float back to [D]me

'Cause I can see s[D]unlight

Stuck[D/C#] in the [Bm]dark
When you've lost your w[G]ay in life[Gm]
I won't be f[D]ar
When the seasons ch[D]ange
And you [D/C#]fall a[Bm]part
When the winter c[G]hill is near [Gm]
I won't be f[D]ar

'Cause I can see s[D]unlight
Through my w[Bm]indow
If you o[Em]pen your eyes you'll
