Lyrics
I saw you sit ting at the cen ter of a cir cle,
ev ’ry bod y,
ev ’ry bod y want ed (D)some thing from you.
I saw you sit ting there.
I saw you sway ing to the rhy thm of the mu sic,
caught you play ing,
caught you pray ing to the (D)voice in side low you.
I saw you sway ing there.
I don’t care
what you want to be, I go back so far I’m in front of me.
It does n’t mat ter (Am)what they say, they’re (Em)giv ing the game a way, ay, ay.
I can see the world to night,
look in to the fu ture,
see it in a dif f’rent light.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
I heard you lis t’ning to a se cret con ver sa tion.
You were cry ing,
you were try ing not to (D)let them hear low you;
I heard you lis t’ning in.
Nev er mind
what they want to do, you’ve got a right to your own point of view.
It does n’t mat ter (Am)what they say, they’re (Em)giv ing the game a way, ay, ay.
I can see the world to night,
look in to the fu ture,
see it in a dif f’rent light.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
