[C#m] [F#]
[A] [E]
[A] Don't get [C#m] smart, I'm [A] sarcastic.
He snaps [C#m] back just like elastic.
[A] Sparrow stood the atrix [C#m] and the bubble [A] gymnastic.
We break white [C#m] skies just like [F#m] matchsticks.
What would [C#m] a friend of [F#m] yours want from a love [Am] [E] watcher?
A friend of mine [D] would barely be enough.
You're not a [E] vibe that took [F] you with [F#m] pause.
And I got nothing [F#] against you, [Bm] but still.
You could [E] have been a danger [F] to the [F#m] boys and girls.
Now you're a danger to yourself.
[E] Oh, what would [D] the love watch say?
[E] What would the love [A] watch say?
[F#m] What would the [C#m] love watch say?
[F#m] What would the [A] love watch say?
[Bm] They are the little [E] dreams around [Am] your bed.
They are [D] the little things you [G] get to feel and [D] regret.
[Bm] They stitch [E] you up in [Am] style, say [G#] you do.
[C] They pinch you back, your [F] pretty face.
They are your [C] heart,
[A] your blood, your paper,
[C#m] and the best life maker [A] say, you can leave [C#m] her.
I can take her.
[A] You spend your whole life [C#m] like a minute or two later.
[A] One day it's going [C#m] to end, shoot an impression.
[F#m] What would [C#m] the love watch say?
[F#m] What would the love [Am] watch say?
[F#m]
[D] Now [E] there's a name [Dm] we'll never [C#] forget.
This [F#] one bar every minute [Bm] I took.
No [E] sentimental [Dm]
on [F#m] me yet.
Then I'd be waiting for you.
[E] Oh, what would [D] the love watch say?
[E] What would the love [A] watch say?
[F#m] Oh, what would [C#m] the love watch say?
[F#m] What [G#] would the love [A] watch say?
[E] We've been at the [D] end [E] of our world.
