Can you see me?

         Em              Em     D      Em
 Can you see me when I’m waving in the crowd?
         Em              C                B
 Can you see me when I’m calling out your name?
            Em                         G/D
 There’s so many like me, there’s only one of you
         D
 Can you see me
         C               D         Em
 Can you see me when you make that choice?

Em
    I lie awake in a darkened room
    D
The numbers shine out of the gloom
    C             D           Em
The minutes tick away another day
   F              Em
No matter what my thoughts, it seems
     D               Em
That life will never look at dreams
    B             A            Ab
And I will always move another way
 

Chorus

At work, the question still unasked
I concentrate on other tasks
And drive you from my thoughts for just a while
But all my efforts go to waste
With just the memory of your face
If only I could understand your smile

Chorus and instrumental over chorus

The day goes round, again the night
Will ask me, "Do I have the right
To push myself into another’s life?
Another sleepless night so long
To question what is right or wrong
And where love fits into this world of strife?

Chorus and repeat
