[Intro]
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 E E x2


[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 E E
I sit and watch you reading with your head low
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 E E
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I sit and watch you
E E Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I notice everything you do or don't do
E E
You're so much older and wiser, and I


[Chorus]
A A Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
F#m F#m
Use my best colors for your portrait
E E
Lay the table with the fancy shit
A A
And watch you tolerate it
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
If it's all in my head tell me now
F#m F#m
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
E E
I know my love should be celebrated
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
But you tolerate it


[Verse 2]
E E
I greet you with a battle hero's welcome
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 E E
I take your indiscretions all in good fun
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 E E Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn
E E
You're so much older and wiser, and I


[Chorus]
A A Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
A A
Use my best colors for your portrait
E E
Lay the table with the fancy shit
A A
And watch you tolerate it
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
If it's all in my head tell me now
A A
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
E E
I know my love should be celebrated
F#m F#m
But you tolerate it


[Bridge]
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
While you were out building other worlds, where was I?
F#m F#m
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
E E
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
F#m F#m
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Drawing hearts in the byline
F#m F#m
Always taking up too much space or time
E E
You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I


[Chorus]
A A Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Break free and leave us in ruins

Took this dagger in me and removed it
A A E E
Gain the weight of you then lose it
A A
Believe me, I could do it
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
If it's all in my head tell me now
A A
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
E E
I know my love should be celebrated
F#m F#m
But you tolerate it

Dmaj7 Dmaj7 F#m F#m


[Outro]
E E
I sit and watch you
