Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C G
It was California, we were at a party
Am F
Talking to each other with our eyes across the room
C G
I couldn’t stop myself from staring at you
Am F
Something about the lights and the ceiling made it right
Chorus
Am G C
But I’m looking at you through the glass
F Am
You don’t see me standing right here
G C
Looking at you through the ceilings
F Am
Why does it feel like you’re near?
G C F
And then the ceilings caved in
Verse 2
C G
It’s always almost something isn’t it?
Am F
Walking to our cars after closing time
C G
I couldn’t help but wish that you’d come a little closer
Am F
But you stopped at the door and said goodbye
Chorus
Am G C
But I’m looking at you through the glass
F Am
You don’t see me standing right here
G C
Looking at you through the ceilings
F Am
Why does it feel like you’re near?
G C F
And then the ceilings caved in
Bridge
Am Em
Why can’t I just say it?
F C
Why can’t I just tell you?
Am Em
Every word I practice
F G
Falls apart when you’re here
Chorus
Am G C
But I’m looking at you through the glass
F Am
You don’t see me standing right here
G C
Looking at you through the ceilings
F Am
Why does it feel like you’re near?
G C F
And then the ceilings caved in
Am G CF
And the ceilings caved in
Practice tip: The Am-G-C-F progression is common in indie-folk music. Focus on gentle, even strumming and let the melody carry the emotion.
