Verse

G
Every breath you take
               Em
Every move you make
               C
Every bond you break
               D
Every step you take
                 G
                 *
I'll be watching you

             G
Every single day
                   Em
And every word you say
               C
Every game you play
                D
Every night you stay
                 G
I'll be watching you

Chorus

             C                  G
Oh can't you see, you belong to me
                  A7  A                    D
                                               ***
How my poor heart aches,  with every step you take

                   G
And every move you make
                  Em
And every vow you break
                C
Every smile you fake
                D
Every claim you stake
                 G
                 *
I'll be watching you

Bridge

Eb                                        F
 **
 Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
                                      Eb
I dream at night, I can only see your face
                                   F
I look around but it's you I can't replace
                                   Eb
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
                          G
I keep crying baby, baby, please
