Intro 
C    G7    C    G7 

 
  C                                    G7               C 
I watch you from the bedroom as you're taking down your hair 
      Am              F                C          G7 
And behind the Sunday paper, you're so sweetly unaware 
         C              C7                F 
There's another side of my love you don't even know you have 
          C        F     C                G7                 C    G7 
Oh, you'd love the way I look at you when you're not looking back 

 
       C               F              C 
It's a lonely, loving, aching look of pure desire 
         Am                F              G7 
It's the way that children look at heroes they admire 
           C                     C7           F              Fm 
And I'm surprised that you can't feel it when you go walking past 
          C        F     C                G7                 C    G7 
Oh, you'd love the way I look at you when you're not looking back 

 
       C                               G7                C 
Oh, it happens when you're sleeping or somewhere deep in thought 
    Am             F                C                 G7 
Sometimes across a crowded room and through the party talk 
C                C7                  F 
Silence falls on my world when I'm beholding what I have 
          C        F     C                G7                 C    G7 
Oh, you'd love the way I look at you when you're not looking back 

 
       C               F              C 
It's a lonely, loving, aching look of pure desire 
         Am                F              G7 
It's the way that children look at heroes they admire 
           C                     C7           F              Fm 
And I'm surprised that you can't feel it when you go walking past 
          C        F     C                G7                 C    G7 
Oh, you'd love the way I look at you when you're not looking back 
           C                     Bb           F              Fm 
And I'm surprised that you can't feel it when you go walking past 
          C        F     C                G7                 F    Fm 
Oh, you'd love the way I look at you when you're not looking back
