When I was a little boy                w/ variations
I looked under the stairs
The king and the pawns
Were caught unaware

Standing in the shadows
A whisperer to be
Just fishing in the darkness
Of possibilities

  B
  Just  look
         Em  D  G  B
  At you nooow  yeeeah
              Em  D  G    B
  Look at you nooow  yeah oh - look at you now

e           d♯         e           d♯

Among such style and grace
Our highest hopes
None standing still
The running joke

Where goes the warm embrace it fades
Without return
That lives to slip through fingertips
And burn

  B     B/A
  Just  look

  At you now, oh oh  

  Look at you now, oh oh  x 5
