C#m Bm When I see you sky as I kite A Bm as high as I might, I can't get that high C#m Bm A The how you move The way you burst the clouds Bm It makes me want to try And when I see you sticky as lips As licky as trips, I can't lick that far But when you pout, the way you shout out loud It makes me want to start And when I see you happy as a girl That swims in a world of a magic show It makes me bite my fingers through To think I could've let you go Chorus: C#m G A And when I see you take the same sweet steps G you used to take I say C#m G A I'll keep holding you my arms so tight D I'll never let you slip away And when I see you kitten as a cat Yeah, as smitten as that, I can't get that small The way you fur, the how you purr It makes me want to paw you all And when I see you happy as a girl That lives in a world of make believe It makes me pull my hair all out To think I could've let you leave Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
