artist : of montreal
song : i was watching your eyes

tabbed by : bong rouge

the guitar on the recording is out of tune ,
so playing along to the record is pretty much doomed to fail .

C#dim7

Dm G
i want to write something beautiful ,
C
something so beautiful
Am F
that i just can’t sing it
A# F
without getting that incredible feeling ,
A# Am A# A#/C# F
the one that just overwhelms my se – – – E – – – – nses .
Dm G
because it’s the only thing i have ,
C Am F F G A A#m
it’s the only thing that makes my life worthwhile .

F Dm
i know there aren’t too many people
A#
who allow themselves to say what they feel ,
Am Am Gm F
so i was watching your eyes ,
F7 Bm C#dim7
in case they just might say something .

i want to think someone’s beautiful ,
that they’re so beautiful it’s a thrill to be near them .
fill my stomach with butterflies ,
have me floating on air ,
bring something out of me i didn’t know was there .
but it’s such a torturous thing
that i Am not excited by anyone .

i know there aren’t too many people
who allow themselves to say what they feel ,
so i was watching your eyes ,
in case they just might say something .
