C                                   Em
You could be sad but never torn
Em                                     F#m
You saw the light when it was on
F#m                        Dm          A
You never turned or looked away
A                                 B7
Your eyes were focused, mine were grey

C                                   Em
Your sentences were concentrated
Em                                     F#m
You made your points so understated
F#m                             Dm     A
Where I would mumble, you would say
A                                 B7
Your eyes were focused, mine were grey


Cm         Bm   G       Cm         Bm    Em
I made up conversations with my symbolic language
       C         Cm7              Am
Saying everybody wants to be like you
    Cm         D                 G
But I'd rather fall in love with you

C                                   Em
You got the picture from the start
Em                                     F#m
You saw right through me in the dark
F#m                       Dm          A
You saw that I couldn't behave
A                            B7
with eyes so focused, yet so frail

Cm      Bm         G
I chose you from a million
Cm           Bm        Em
You were the choice of billions
C                  Cm7            Am
wishing they would try to be like you
    Cm         D                 G
But I'd rather fall in love with you

C Am D7 Dm7 C(x2)
Ba-ba-ba baa-ba...

C                                           Em
You questioned men and called them whores
Em                                  F#m
But you would never burn your bras
F#m                          Dm       A
You held your head up in the rain
A                                 B7
Your eyes were focused, mine were grey

C                                     Em
You had relationships that worked
Em                               F#m
and yet experience with jerks
F#m                        Dm       A
So well adjusted, but with charm
A                              B7
Your eyes were focused and yet calm

Cm         Bm  G
I'm fairly realistic
Cm                 Bm     Em
But my thought are out of lip-sync
C              Cm7             Am
when I say that I'm not one of those
    Cm              D                 G
who pass you by and fall in love with you
    Cm              D                 G
who pass you by and fall in love with you
    Cm              D                 G
who pass you by and fall in love with you
    Cm              D                 C
I'll pass you by and fall in love with

C Am D7 Dm7 C (until fade)
Ba-ba-ba baa-ba...
