[Verse 1] N.C F That wasn't funny But she laughed so hard, she almost cried D They're countin' months they've been together Almost forty-nine Bb He's making fun of how she acted around the holidays C She wears a ring, but they tell people that they're not engaged F They met in class for metaphysical philosophy D He tells his friends I like her 'Cause she's so much smarter than me Bb They're having talks about their futures until 4AM C And I'm happy for them (I'm happy for thеm) [Chorus] Bb But I wanna feel all that C love and emotion Bb Be that attachеd to the C person I'm holdin' Bb Some day I'll be falling, C without caution Bb But for now C I'm only people watchin' [Verse 2] F I'm only looking just to live through you vicariously D I've never really Bb been in love, not seriously C I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence F Next one I choose to trust, D I hope I use some common sense Bb But I cut people out like tags on my clothin' C I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin' [Chorus] Bb I wanna feel all that C love and emotion Bb Be that attached to the C person I'm holdin' Bb Some day I'll be falling, C without caution Bb But for now C I'm only people watchin' [Bridge] Bb Cut people out like tags on my clothin' C* I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin' Bb I won't be scared to let someone know me C Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin' Bb Cut people out like tags on my clothin' C I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin' Bb I won't be scared to let someone know me C Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin' Bb I feel love emotion [Chorus] Bb I wanna feel all that C love and emotion Bb Be that attached to the C person I'm holdin' Bb Some day I'll be falling, C without caution Bb But for now C I'm only people watchin'
