VERSE:
Am
I saw you sitting at the center of a circle
C D
Everybody, everybody wanted something from you
Am
I saw you sitting there
Am
I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music
C D
Caught you playing, caught you praying to the voice inside you
Am
I saw you swaying there
BRIDGE:
Em Am
I don’t care what you want to be
Em Am
I go back so far, I’m in front of me!
Em Am
It doesn’t matter what they say
Em G
They’re giving the game away, hey, hey!
CHORUS:
Am
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
VERSE:
I heard you listening to a secret conversation
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you
I heard you listening in
BRIDGE:
Never mind, what they want to do
You’ve got a right, to your point of view
It doesn’t matter what they say
They’re giving the game away, hey, hey!
CHORUS:
Am
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

VERSE:
I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallow you
I saw you hiding there
