C
When the night comes and I'm able
Em
I could see you across the table
C
You're a shooting star staring at me
Em
I'm paranoid now why are you laughing?
C
So I called you just to call you
Em
I'm on a roll now still looking for you
C
Looking out that window pane
                    Em
I feel the soft rain
I'm going down the drain
It's washing me away
C
That's why I called you just to call you
Em
It's not like I left you at the altar
C
Got to get this boulder off our shoulder
Em
And make this load here a little bit lighter

Chorus:
   Am       G                 C
If you got something left to say
       Am        G       C
Would you could you see me

In the daylight you’re a mystery
I catch a cool glimpse and let it stone me
When are we coming closer to what this could be
Somehow I feel a little bit further
Further from the truth it’s not typical
I feel invisible some days I’m miserable
So if you ever want to see me
Just take a load off wild and free

Chorus:
If you got something left to say
Would you could you see me
Because I see you when I am able
Yes I see you

When the truth came out it was you
