Intro: F  A 
 
 Am7 Fmaj7     Am7 
Door Ajar   tuh tuh  
     Fmaj7     Am 
Door Ajar   tuh tuh  
     Fmaj7     Am    F 
Door Ajar   tuh tuh  
 
         Dm  Am              F 
I hit my head on the pillow, hard 
         Am                   Bb 
I heard a noise from the boulevard 
       D7      C  Am7    F 
And it made me go d.....own 
          Dm       Am       F 
I left the door to my room ajar 
        D/A      Am7          Bbmaj7 
Felt the rumble of the street-car 
        Dm7      C   Am7   Fmaj7  A D/A F A 
And it spiralled me d......own 
Am               D 
If you could see me 
               A 
Swallowed by darkness 
              C      Gmaj7 
What would it matter 
Bdim/A    D 
Would it awaken 
         A/C# 
Feelings forsaken 
          C          Bm 
Faded and scattered 
E/B            D 
Would you come running 
             A 
If you could hear me 
            C        G 
Some way or another 
     Bdim/A     D 
That's what I'm thinking 
            Bm A/C#               C      Bm7 
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter 
Em      Fmaj7     Am 
   Door Ajar   tuh tuh  
        Fmaj7     Am    F 
   Door Ajar   tuh tuh  
         Dm    Am             Fmaj7 
I hit my heard on the pillow, hard 
          Am                      Bbmaj7 
I took the words that you said to heart 
        D7     C    Am       F 
And it made me feel d.......own 
      Am7                   F 
When I awoke it was dark outside 
       Dm      Am             Bbmaj7 
Just a flicker from a traffic light 
       Am7       C  Am7     F     A D/A F Am 
And it signalled me d.....own 
                 D 
If you could see me 
                A 
Swallowed in darkness 
               C     D7/F#  G 
What would it matt.......er 
      D6 
Would it awaken 
             A/C# 
Feelings forsaken 
              C      Bm 
Faded and scattered 
E/B               D 
Would you come running 
              A 
If you could hear me 
              C      G 
Some way or another 
Em     D/A      D6 
That's what I'm thinking 
               A/C#               C       Bm  D C#m D7/F# Bm F A D/A F A 
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter

Door Ajar   tuh tuh
