D7M                         E 
  I sit and watch you reading with your head low 
D7M                            E 
  I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed 
D7M 
  I sit and watch you 
E                               D7M 
  I notice everything you do or don't do 
                     E 
You're so much older and wiser, and I 
  


A                                   D7M 
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid 
                              F#m 
Use my best colors for your portrait 
                           E 
Lay the table with the fancy shit 
                   A 
And watch you tolerate it 
                               D7M 
If it's all in my head tell me now 
                           F#m 
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow 
                            E 
I know my love should be celebrated 
            D7M 
But you tolerate it 
  


                          E 
I greet you with a battle hero's welcome 
D7M                       E 
  I take your indiscretions all in good fun 
D7M              E                                     D7M 
  I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn 
                     E 
You're so much older and wiser, and I

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow 
                            E 
I know my love should be celebrated 
             F#m 
But you tolerate it 



                                            D7M 
While you were out building other worlds, where was I? 
                                               F#m 
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? 
                                   E 
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky 
                                 F#m 
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life 
                         D7M 
Drawing hearts in the byline 
                                    F#m 
Always taking up too much space or time 
                                         E 
You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I  
  


A                             D7M 
  Break free and leave us in ruins 

Took this dagger in me and removed it 
A                              E 
  Gain the weight of you then lose it 
                     A 
Believe me, I could do it 
                               D7M 
If it's all in my head tell me now 
                           A 
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow 
                            E 
I know my love should be celebrated 
             F#m 
But you tolerate it
