[Strophe]
              Dm 
That wasn't funny 
           Am                  Bb         C 
But she laughed so hard, she almost cried 
                   Dm                   Am 
They're countin' months they've been together 
         Bb       C 
Almost forty-nine 
             Dm               Am             Bb      C 
He's making fun of how she acted around the holidays 
             Dm                  Am                Bb         C 
She wears a ring, but they tell people that they're not engaged 
             Dm           Am          Bb     C 
They met in class for metaphysical philosophy 
               Dm 
He tells his friends I like her 
  Am                    Bb           C 
'Cause she's so much smarter than me 
                Dm                  Am         Bb    C 
They're having talks about their futures until 4 AM 
              Dm      Am                   Bb C 
And I'm happy for them (I'm happy for thеm)
[Refrain]
    Bb                     C 
But I wanna feel all that love and emotion 
Dm                        F          Am 
Be that attachеd to the person I'm holdin' 
     Bb                  C                Dm 
Some day I'll be falling, without caution 
                F Am                 Bb* 
But for now I'm only people watchin'
[Strophe]
              Dm 
I'm only looking 
        Am               Bb         C 
just to live through you vicariously 
            Dm             Am 
I've never really been in love, 
    Bb       C 
not seriously 
          Dm           Am             Bb        C 
I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence 
            Dm                Am                Bb         C 
Next one I choose to trust, I hope I use some common sense 
      Dm         Am        Bb        C 
But I cut people out like tags on my clothin' 
  Dm           Am       Bb            C 
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'
[Refrain]
Bb                     C 
I wanna feel all that love and emotion 
Dm                        F          Am 
Be that attachеd to the person I'm holdin' 
     Bb                  C                Dm 
Some day I'll be falling, without caution 
                F Am                 Bb* 
But for now I'm only people watchin'
[Pont]
Dm         Am       Bb         C 
Cut people out like tags on my clothin' 
Dm           Am       Bb            C 
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin' 
Dm           Am      Bb          C 
I won't be scared to let someone know me 
Dm           Am             Bb          C 
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin' 
Dm         Am       Bb         C 
Cut people out like tags on my clothin' 
Dm           Am       Bb            C 
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin' 
Dm           Am      Bb          C 
I won't be scared to let someone know me 
Dm           Am             Bb          C 
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin' 
N.C. 
I feel love emotion
[Refrain]
Bb                     C 
I wanna feel all that love and emotion 
Dm                        F          Am 
Be that attachеd to the person I'm holdin' 
     Bb                  C                Dm 
Some day I'll be falling, without caution 
                F Am                 Bb* 
But for now I'm only people watchin'
