Lyrics

Ev ’ry time you see his (Asus2)face you get an noyed.

They And take if your ig no rance is (Asus2)bliss, he’s o ver joyed.

And can we talk a bout that (Asus2)stuff he calls his hair.

But what would hap pen if one (Asus2)day he was n’t there?

You’re caught

by sur prise.

Could you (E)wake up one day and re al ize the one

that you want is right in (B)front of your eyes?

Ev ’ry night a hun dred (Asus2)guys come through the door.

They And take if your breath a way each (Asus2)time they take the floor.

And And they’ve got the bucks, the (Asus2)tux, the kill er face.

But you’re still think ing of that (Asus2)jack ass with the bass.

You’re caught

by sur prise.

Could you (E)wake up one day and re al ize the one

that you want is right in (B)front of your eyes?

You might (A)have a cham pagne wish or two (E)plus a cav i ar (C#m)dream, but are the (F#m7)life styles of the rich and fa mous (F#sus4)real ly all they (Bsus4)seem?

The one

that you (Absus4)want’s right in (Ab)front of your eyes.

You’re caught

by sur prise.

Could you (Gb)wake up one day and re al ize the one

that you want,

the one

that you want,

the one

that you want is right in (Db)front of your

eyes?
