Bm
Everyone is watching
     A
But nobody is watching for you
Bm
I don't wanna turn it on
   A
It only makes me sad for you
Bm
I know you can play piano
  A
That was just a talent show
      Bm
I've never known you like I know you
A
I never wanted you to go

You're on the rocks in a two-piece suit
In a dead location on the dying scene
You gave Lawrence a big salute
Texas brought them to their knees
Indiana pushes you on the stairs
Your independent declaration sounded
too much like a prayer

Bm A                  Bm               A Bm A
But I'll wake up and wait there for you
      Bm               A
I'll wait there for you

Chorus:
E
Anna Freud
A                D
No confidence in Anna
   A
In Anna Freud

Remember what they said to you
Everyone will know us now
We love you babe, you make us proud
Don't come home without the crown
Don't come back to Lawrence town
We always knew you'd let us down
Don't come back without the crown

Chorus - x2

But I'll wake up and wait there for you
I'll wait there for you
