  			G             G6         
I've seen you watching 
    D                         Am  
Her every time she crosses the floor 
D                        Em   C 
So won't you just go and talk to 
G           D       C 
The one you really adore 
G                  G6 
I'm getting pretty used to being 
    D                     Am  
The one that you always ignore 
D             Em     C 
When somebody wants you 
G    D         C 
I've seen it before 

You're every kind of color 
There ain't nothing that you won't claim 
Your ambition and promise 
And your addiction to fame 
Everyone's got a dollar 
 sign after their name 
When somebody wants you 
You treat 'em just the same 


Am         G 
So go on a pick-up 
          D                    Em 
You don't care what poison you choose 
         Em7        C 
And what person you lose 
                  A 
It should've been me, yeah 
C            D 
Shouldn't it be? 


A crushing quiet 
Blows in through your window 
To someone that wants you 
But you'll never know 
So I'll pick up around you 
Clear everything out 
Leave you where I found you 
I figured you out 
Leave you where I found you 
I figured you out
