G C
[Verse]
G
Lay it on (It on, it on, it on)
C
Now that I can see (Now that I can see)
G
Couldn't bear to talk (To talk, to talk, to talk)
C
Without the will to breathe (Without the will to breathe)
[Chorus]
Em
Didn't hear the strength within your words
D C Bm
And what they mean
Am G C
You were watching over me (Watching over me)
[Verse 2]
G
You can hear the call (The call, the call, the call)
C
When trouble's on the way (When trouble's on the way)
G
Who said the beast was gone (Was gone, was gone, was gone)
C
He was only just away (Only just away, only just away)
[Chorus]
Em
Trying to find peace in always knowing
D C Bm
I was never really free
Am
You were watching over me (Watching over me)
[Instrumental]
G C G C Em D C Bm Am
G
[Break]
Bm C
With the will to look away
Em
When I was falling down
D
Crawling in the dirt
Bm C
Is it fair enough to say
D
That I needed you through the crazy pain
Of living here with all this hurt
G
And what I feel (What I feel)
C
All I touch and how I steal (How I steal)
G
The fantasy was far too real (Far too real)
C
Oh, so I let it slip away (Let it slip away)
[Chorus]
Em
Didn't hear the strength within your words
D C Bm
And what they mean
Am G C
You were watching over me (Watching over me)
