The Way You Look At Me chords by Anika Pyle

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C

🎸 Verse 1:
 C           Am
Distant neon diner
                G
Tender fallen snow
                 F
See you staring softly

From your seat near the window


🎸 Verse 2:
C                        Am
    “Thanks, I’m meeting someone”
                    G
    Make my way to you
                  F
    Suddenly I’m nervous

    As I settle in the booth


🎸 Verse 3:
C                    Am
    You look so much older
                           G
    The lines are creeping in
                            F
    Your eyes are the same sapphire
                         (C)
    That they’ve always been


🎸 Verse 4:
C                         Am
    We’re silent for a moment
                       G
    Staring down the truth
                            F
    You say, “It’s good to see you”
                           (C)
    I exhale and say, “You too”


🎸 Verse 5:
C                           Am
    The waitress fills your coffee
                    G
    Gestures to my cup
                           F
    “Would you like some, darlin?
                         (C)
    I don’t mean to interrupt”


🎸 Verse 6:
C                         Am
    “Yes, I’d love some thank you.
                        G
    I’ll just take it black.”
                         F
    “Some things never change,” you say

    We both let out a laugh


🎸 Verse 7:
C                    Am
    You ask about my sister
                     G
    I ask about the kids
                         F
    You share a couple photos
                              (C)
    I say, “How’d they get so big ”


🎸 Verse 8:
C                     Am
    You say, “Congratulations,
                        G
    I heard about your book.”
                        F
    I lift my gaze to thank you
                              (C)
    And you’re giving me that look


🎸 Verse 9:
C               Am
    Suddenly I feel it
                       G
    Tears against my cheek
                    F
    Struggling for words
                                (C)
    Trying to bring myself to speak


🎸 Verse 10:
C                       Am
    I tell you that I’m sorry
                       G
    It doesn’t matter now
                          F
    But I love you and I wish
                                  (C)
    That I could take it back somehow


🎸 Verse 11:
C                       Am
    “Now you’ve got me crying,”
                               G
    You tell me through your smile,
                     F
    “Grateful to be with you even

    For a little while”


🎸 Verse 12:
C                         Am
    You take my hands in yours
                              G
    Tears streaming down our necks
                       F
    We let each other go
                               (C)
    As the waitress drops the check


🎸 Verse 13:
C                              Am
    “I’ve got it, please don’t argue”
                     G
    I put the money down
                       F
    Guess I should be making my way

    Back into town


🎸 Verse 14:
C                       Am
    We slowly leave the diner
                     G
    Walking side by side
                     F
    Both in love and anguish
                        (C)
    Both taking it in stride


🎸 Verse 15:
C                      Am
    You stop me at the corner
                            G
    Kiss me softly on the cheek
                     F
    I savor for the last time

    The way you look at me
