G#
Watching through my fingers
F#                    C#
Watching through my fingers

G#
Shuts my eyes and count to ten
           F#
It goes in one ear out the other oh,
C#
one ear out the other oh
G#
Burning bright right till the end
               F#
Now you’ll be missing from the photographs,
 C#
missing from the photographs

G#
Watching through my fingers
F#                   C#
Watching through my fingers

In my thoughts you’re far away
And you are whistling a melody
Whistling a melody
Crystallizing clear as day
Oh I can picture you so easily
Picture you so easily

Fm                           C#
What’s gonna be left of the world,
if you’re not in it?
Fm                           D#
What’s gonna be left of the world? Oh

Chorus:
G#               C#     G#
Every minute and every hour
   Fm                      C#       G#
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
G#                 C#      G#
Every stumble and each misfire
   Fm                      C#        G#
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

G#                   C#   G#
Watching through my fingers
Fm                   C#   G#
Watching through my fingers

Caught off guard by your favourite song
Oh I’ll be dancing at a funeral
Dancing at a funeral
Sleeping in the clothes you love
It’s such a shame we had to see them burn
Shame we had to see them burn

What’s gonna be left of the world
if you’re not in it?
What’s gonna be left of the world, oh

Chorus

G#
(If you wanna be a party animal,
you have to learn to live in the jungle)
F#                                           C#
Oh (Now stop worrying and go and get dressed!)
Ba da ba bap ba

G#
You might have to excuse me
              F#             C#
I’ve lost control of all my senses
     G#
And you might have to excuse me
              F#            C#
I’ve lost control of all my words

         G#              C#
So get drunk, call me a fool,
       Fm                  C#
put me in my place, put me in my place
        G#               C#
Pick me up, up off the floor,
       Fm                  C#
put me in my place, put me in my place

Chorus

Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

Cause every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
