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
