Window Seat Chords by Erykah Badu

_ President's car is now turning onto Elm Street and it will be only a matter of minutes before he arrives at the trademark.
I was on Simmons Freeway earlier and even the freeway was jam-packed with spectators waiting their chance to see the [G] president as he made his way towards the [F] trademark.
[C] Hey, _ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
hey, _ _ [G] oh, _ [Gm]
oh, oh
So, presently I'm standing here right now, your [C] soul demanding
[G] [Gm] Tell me what you [G] want from [Gm] me
_ Concluding, concentrating on [Dm] my [Eb] abusing lover [G] and my bass
[Cm] Baby, [Gm] when I [G] ask a lady for a [Eb] ticket out of [Gm] town
So, can I get a window seat?
I want somebody next to me
I just want a ticket out of town [G] to look [Gm] around and to say, touch down
Can I get a window seat?
I want somebody next to [G] me
I just want a [Cm] chance to [G] fly, a chance to [Gm] cry in the long run by
Oh, oh, _ [C] _ [G] _ oh, _ [Eb] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Fm] oh

I wanna [Gm] be here, my thankin'
So on this porch, I'm walkin'
[Cm] Back and [Eb] forth like [G] lightning, hoppin'
[Cm] If anybody's [G] beat to Scottie, tell him, [Cm] beam me up
So when [Dm] I get a [Cm] win, you know it's sick
[G] Don't want [F] nobody [Gm]
next to me
I [G] just wanna [Cm] take it down a [G] pound
Look [Eb] around, and I say, touchdown

_ _ _ Oh, I _ just want a [Cm] chance to [G] fly
A chance to cry, [Cm] and a long goodbye
Eat _ _ _

They play it safe
Are quick to assassinate what they do not understand
They move in packs
[Ab] Ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another
They feel most comfortable in groups
Less guilt to swallow
They are us
This is what we have become
Afraid to respect the individual
A single person within our circumstance can move one to change
To love herself To evolve _
