Ode To Boy chords by Yazoo

When he moves I watch him from behind
                                      C
he turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
                          G
intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips
        G                          Bb
When he drives I love to watch his hands
                        C
white and smooth almost feminine,
                 G
almost american, I have to watch him.

Chorus
G                           Bb                         C
in his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth
                              G
he caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot
    G             Bb                                         C
and everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue
                                 G
I saw him searching into you and ached a while

G                           Bb
I watch his lips caress the glass,
                                C
his fingers stroke its stem and pass
                       G
to lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes
G                    Bb
from a shadow by the stair
                    C
I watch as he weeps unaware
                       G
that I'm in awe of his despair, but I am there

(chorus repeat)
