Intro: Bb - Bb/Ab - Eb

    Bb            Bb/Ab
I'm looking, I'm looking back
    Eb                Bb
I'm trying to imagine this and that
    F                                C
The simple mathematics making up the map
Gb                           Ab            Ab/Eb  Eb
Insurance of protection from immediate collapse

    Bb            Bb/Ab
I'm watching, I'm watching you

A voyeur from a different point of view
    F                                    C
The solitary eyes that I've been looking through
Gb                           Ab             Ab/Eb  Eb
Committed to connecting the old ways to the new


      Bb
And I see things
          Ab
Through a curtain blowing back against the rain
            Cm/G
Through the crack in a door that heaves with pain
            Am7-5          D7
And through every gap that gives away
     Ab
Some secret in the dark
                    Gb
I'll come away with something
   Ab             F
To keep you in my heart


    Bb             Bb/Ab
I'm searching, I'm setting out
   Eb                     Bb
To prove without a shadow of a doubt
    F                                      C
The age-old contradiction that's hovering about
  Gb
A whisper in the darkness
      Ab                Eb
Holds more truth than a shout

    Bb           Bb/Ab
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for
Eb                        Bb
Telltale footsteps on the bedroom floor
  F                                   C
A broken hearted lover simply looking for
  Gb                             Ab           Eb
Relief that's temporary from her dirty little war


     Bb
And I see things
         Ab
From the ceilings of a hundred hotel rooms
       Cm/G
From a satellite that's bouncing off the moon
         Am7-5      D7
And from every telescope
               Ab
That's focused in on someplace dark
                    Gb           Ab             F
I'll come away with something to keep you in my heart

      Bb
Yes I see things
         Ab
From the highest branch that looks directly in
          Cm/G
Through a hawk's eyes gliding silent on the wind
       Am7-5        D7                 Ab
And in every secret rendezvous where illicit lovers park
                    Gb           Ab             F          Bb
I'll come away with something to keep you in my heart
