[Primeira Parte]

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
 
[Segunda Parte]

                          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

                                            D7M
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 
 
[Refrão]

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
                               D7M
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
             F#m
But you tolerate it

  I sit and watch you
