Intro:

G  (Cadd9)


Verse:

  G
I love you
         Cadd9  G     D  (Dsus4)
From the bottom of my heart 
    Am                Em
And that's not gonna' change
                C
But things look grim
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him


  G
I give you
           Cadd9   G       D  (Dsus4)
The best a man can hope to give
    Am              Em
But I'm not feeling brave
            C
Chances are slim
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him


Chorus:

    Em      C        G6  (D/F#)
Oh, what is left to learn
              Em      C         G6  (D/F#)
When he would let you crash and burn
         Em     C     
He never gives attention 
    G6  D/F#   Em
But you still  yearn 
               C
Where do I fit in
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him


Bridge:

C                            B
   God only knows why I still wait around
Em          D/F#         A7
   Except I hate to see you cry 
C
   And I need you
              D7
But there are things I cannot do


Verse:
 
      G
And I want you
          Cadd9   G       D  (Dsus4)
When he's playing all his games 
    Am              Em                C
And it gets hard to tell whose the victim
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him


Solo: (follows Verse)

Cadd9   G   D (Dsus4)
Am   Em   C
C   D   G


Chorus:

    Em      C        G6  (D/F#)
Oh, what is left to learn
              Em      C         G6  (D/F#)
When he would let you crash and burn
         Em     C     
He never gives attention 
     G6 D/F# Em
But you still  yearn 
               C
Where do I fit in
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him


Bridge:

C                             B
   God only knows why I still wait around
Em           D/F#            A7
   Except I hate to see you cry 
C
   And I need you
              D7
But there are things I cannot do


Verse:

      G
And I love you 
       Cadd9  G      D  (Dsus4)
Like a broken record plays
    Am           Em
But I'm a window pane
          C
A phantom limb 
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him 
          C        D         Em 
When I am watching you watch him 
          C        D         G 
When I am watching you watch him
