Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I love  you
 From the bottom of  my heart
 And that's  not gonna' change
 But things look grim
 When I am watching you  watch him
 I give  you
 The best a man  can hope  to give
 But I'm  not feeling brave
 Chances are slim
 When I am watching you  watch him
 Oh, what  is left  to learn
 When he would let  you crash  and burn
 He never gives  attention
 But you still yearn
 Where do I fit in
 When I am watching you  watch him
 God only knows why I still  wait around
 Except I hate  to see you  cry
 And I need you
 But there are things  I cannot do
 And I want  you
 When he's playing all  his games
 And it  gets hard to tell  whose the victim
 When I am watching you  watch him
 (follows Verse)
 Oh, what  is left  to learn
 When he would let  you crash  and burn
 He never gives  attention
 But you still  yearn
 Where do I fit in
 When I am watching you  watch him
 God only knows why I still wait  around
 Except I hate  to see you cry
 And I need you
 But there are things  I cannot do
 And I love  you
 Like a broken record plays
 But I'm  a window pane
 A phantom limb
 When I am watching you  watch him
 When I am watching you  watch him
 When I am watching you  watch him
