Intro D7M E D7M E 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 A D7M I wait by the door like I'm just a kid A 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 A 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 ( D7M F#m ) E I sit and watch you
