[Verse 1]
Em           B           G                  B
When I was a little boy, I looked under the stairs
Em               B           G         B
The king and the pawns, were caught unawares
Em               B       G              B
Standing in the shadows, a whisperer to be
Em                  B         G           B
Just fishing in the darkness, oh possibilities

[Chorus 1]
G    B           Em       D
Just look at you now,
G     B           Em       D
Yeah, look at you now
G     B               Em     B    Em    B    Em   B
Yeah, oh, look at you now............................

[Verse 2]
Em         B             Em                 B
Among such style and grace, our highest hopes
Em           B                  Em      B
I'm standing still, the running joke,
Em             B                 Em               B
Where goes the warm embrace? it fades, without return,
Em         B                  Em        B
Appears to slip through fingertips and burn

[Chorus 2]
G    B           Em       D
Just look at you now,
G     B           Em       D
Yeah, look at you now
G    B           Em       D
Just look at you now,
G     B           Em       D
Yeah, look at you now....
