You wear your number but you still look like your out of place
C                      Am               Em    G
Just by moving leave a smile up on every face


         C
And it's true
                          Am
Cause every head in this room
                             F
Turns when you're doing your rounds
    G ~
And I

Can't stand it

C                              Am                      Em  G
See them watching hear them talking as you're walking by
C                         Am                   Em  G
See the glimmer of the hope in every single eye


        C
And it's true
                        Am
Cause every man in this room
                        F
Wants to be closer to you
    G ~
And I

Can't stand it


C             Am
They want you baby
C               Am                 F
They want your truth, your lies, your alibis
                 G
They want you dressed in white

C          Am
To own you baby
C           Am                F
To take you home and steal a kiss goodnight
               G
They want you dead to rise


E                F
And it's only the beginning
E              F
It's only the beginning

Their voices blurring til they're sounding like they're out of phase
C                            Am                      Em    G
You stagger, stumble, you can barely stand up on the stage


C
But you do
                      Am
And every man in this room
                          F
Wants to be dancing with you
    G ~
And I

Can't stand it


C            Am
You see right through them
C             Am                  F
You see right through their eyes into their heads
            G
You see the emptiness

C              Am
And I want you baby
C           Am                F        
You'll never ever meet another man like me
            G
Someone so incomplete


E                   F
And it's only the beginning
E               F
It's only the beginning
E               F
