I think I played the right moves.

You were lookin' over my shoulder,
A B
as I went through the motions of another night,
A E C# B F#m E
'cause I thought I knew who everybody was just by lookin' at them.
E F#m

On a balcony overlooking nothing,

C# B A E
And you hadn't done anything wrong,

And know, really, really, it's me not you.

E
I never would have believed it."
