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

Use my best colors for your portrait

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

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

I sit and watch you
