VERSE:
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

Am
I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music

C                                            D
Caught you playing, caught you praying to the voice inside you

Am
I saw you swaying there
BRIDGE:
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 I can see the world tonight VERSE: 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 BRIDGE: 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:
Am
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future See it in a different light I can see the world tonight F G F Am F G
