[Verse]
GWhen he moves I watch him from Bbbehind 
he turns and laughter flickers in his Ceyes 
intent and direct when he Gspeaks, I watch his lips 
When he Gdrives I love to watch his Bbhands
white and smooth almost Cfeminine, 
almost american, GI have to watch him.
[Chorus]
Gin his face age descends on Bbyouth, exaggeration on the Ctruth 
he caught me looking then but Gsoon his eyes forgot 
and Geverything he Bbseems to do reflects just another shade of Cblue 
I saw him searching into you and Gached a while
[Verse]
GI watch his lips caress the Bbglass, 
his fingers stroke its stem and Cpass 
to lift a cigarette at Glast, he dries his eyes 
Gfrom a shadow by the Bbstair 
I watch as he weeps Cunaware 
that I'm in awe of his Gdespair, but I am there 
(chorus repeat)

[Verse]

G Bb

When he moves I watch him from behind

he turns and laughter flickers in his eyes

intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips

G Bb

When he drives I love to watch his hands

white and smooth almost feminine,

almost american, I have to watch him.

[Chorus]

G Bb C

in his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth

he caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot

G Bb C

and everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue

I saw him searching into you and ached a while

[Verse]

G Bb

I watch his lips caress the glass,

his fingers stroke its stem and pass

to lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes

G Bb

from a shadow by the stair

I watch as he weeps unaware

that I'm in awe of his despair, but I am there

(chorus repeat)
