[Intro]
Dmaj7 E x2
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 E
I sit and watch you reading with your head low
Dmaj7 E
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
Dmaj7
I sit and watch you
E Dmaj7
I notice everything you do or don't do
E
You're so much older and wiser, and I
[Chorus]
A Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
But you tolerate it
[Verse 2]
E
I greet you with a battle hero's welcome
Dmaj7 E
I take your indiscretions all in good fun
Dmaj7 E Dmaj7
I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn
E
You're so much older and wiser, and I
[Chorus]
A Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
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
[Bridge]
Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
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
[Chorus]
A Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7 F#m
[Outro]
E
I sit and watch you
