Lyrics

I still (Am)look for your (F)face in the (C)crowd.

Oh, if (G)you could see me (Am)now.

Would you (Am)stand in dis (F)grace or take a (C)bow?

Oh, if (G)you could see me (Am)now.

Oh,

oh.

Would you call me a saint or a sin ner?

Would you love me a los er, a win ner?

Oh,

oh.

When I see my face in the mir ror we look so a like that it makes me shiv er.

(Am)look for your (F)face in the (C)crowd.

Oh, if (G)you could see me (Am)now.

Would you (Am)stand in dis (F)grace or take a (C)bow?

Oh, if (G)you could see me (F)now.
