Tone: [G]
Intro:
[G] [D] [Em7] [B7] [C] [Cm6] [G]
Verse 1:
[G] I've seen it[D]it last for thirty [Em7]years
Seen it [B7]bloom, then end in[C]in tears
I've seen it [Cm6]after school and [G]in the park
[G] Sat right ac[D]across me on the [Em7]tube
Seen it [B7]miss a stop or[C]or two
Seen it [Cm6]trying not to f[G]fall apart
Chorus:
[Em7] I've heard it [B7]laced in every [Em7]song
And still the [A7]words all come out [C]wrong
It doesn't [Cm6]always answer [G]when you call
[G] Brings out the [D]worst, brings out the [Em7]best
I under[B7]understand it less and[C]and less
I guess I'm [Cm6]not supposed to [G]know it all
Bridge:
I've seen it [C]dance with [D]friends around the [G]table [C] [G]
In Elea[C]Eleanor, [D]Rosie and Lo[G]Louise [C] [G]
And it makes me [C]cry to [D]think that I am [Em7]able
[A7] To give it [Am7]back the way it gives to[D7]to me
Verse 3:
[G] I've seen it [D]grow old and forg[Em7]forget
Until it's [B7]just a silho[C]silhouette
Till someone [Cm6]picks it up and [G]sends it on
[G] I've seen the [D]films, I've read the [Em7]books
My mum and [B7]dad, they got me[C]me hooked
The fairy [Cm6]tale, the search goes [G]on and on
Chorus:
[Em7] The more you [B7]look, the more you[Em7]you find
It's all ar[A7]around you all the [C]time
Catches your [Cm6]eye, you blink and [G]then it's gone
[G] Brings out the [D]worst, brings out the [Em7]best
I know it's [B7]somewhere in my[C]my chest
I guess it's [Cm6]been inside me [G]all along
