Intro
[Dmaj7] [E]
Verse 1
[Dmaj7] I sit and watch you reading [E]with your head low
[Dmaj7] I wake and watch you breathing [E]with your eyes closed
[Dmaj7] I sit and watch you
[E] I notice everything you do or [Dmaj7]don't do
You're so much older [E]and wiser, and I
Chorus
[A]I wait by the door like I'm just a k[Dmaj7]kid
Use my best colors for your po[F#m]portrait
Lay the table with the fanc[E]fancy shit
And watch you toler[A]tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me [Dmaj7]now
Tell me I've got it wrong s[F#m]somehow
I know my love should be cel[E]celebrated
But you tole[Dmaj7]tolerate it
Verse 2
I greet you with a battle [E]hero's welcome
[Dmaj7] I take your indiscretions [E]all in good fun
[Dmaj7] I sit and listеn,[E]listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and [Dmaj7]glistеn
You're so much older [E]and wiser, and I
Chorus
[A]I wait by the door like I'm just a k[Dmaj7]kid
Use my best colors for your po[A]portrait
Lay the table with the fanc[E]fancy shit
And watch you toler[A]tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me [Dmaj7]now
Tell me I've got it wrong s[A]somehow
I know my love should be cel[E]celebrated
But you toler[F#m]tolerate it
Bridge
While you were out building other worlds, wh[Dmaj7]where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my b[F#m]barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my [E]sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in [F#m]the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the byl[Dmaj7]byline
Always taking up too much space or t[F#m]time
You assume I'm fine, but what would you d[E]do if I
Chorus
[A] Break free and leave us in r[Dmaj7]ruins
Took this dagger in me and removed it
[A] Gain the weight of you then l[E]lose it
Believe me, I could d[A]do it
If it's all in my head tell me [Dmaj7]now
Tell me I've got it wrong s[A]somehow
I know my love should be cel[E]celebrated
But you toler[F#m]tolerate it
[Dmaj7] [F#m]
Outro
[E] I sit and watch you
