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

I saw you swaying to the rhythm of your music
Caught you plating, caught you praying
to the voice inside you
I saw you swaying there

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
Em                     Am
I can see the world tonight

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

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

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

I don't care what you want to be
I go back so far, I'm in front of me
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away hey hey

Chorus

Look into the future
I can see the world tonight
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
I can see the world tonight
