[Intro]
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Em Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj7
I could waste this bottle of whiskey on that sunset
Em Cmaj7
Catch a buzz and let that turquoise blue take my breath
Em
I could lay it on back, watch a boat sail by
Cmaj7
Stare off where the water meets the sky
Em7 Cmaj7
As perfect as it is, on a day like this
[Chorus]
G
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
Watchin' the waves roll in
Cmaj7
Your dirty blonde blowin' in the wind
Em7
Water droppin' on your skin
Cmaj7
From the bottom of your drink
G
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
Killin' it like you do
Cmaj7
Pullin' down your shades, takin' in the view
Em7 Cmaj7
I could do the same right now, but I don't want to
Em Cmaj7
I'd rather watch you
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7
I can't wait for you to feel that late day cool breeze
Em
Watch you put my T-shirt on
Cmaj7
And wrap your arms 'round your knees
Em
That little piece of heaven you're starin' at
Cmaj7
Can't compare to what I'm starin' at
Em
And you can't look away
Cmaj7
No, and I can't look away
[Chorus]
G
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
Watchin' the waves roll in
Cmaj7
Your dirty blonde blowin' in the wind
Em7
Water droppin' on your skin
Cmaj7
From the bottom of your drink
G
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
Killin' it like you do
Cmaj7
Pullin' down your shades, takin' in the view
Em7 Cmaj7
I could do the same right now, but I don't want to
G Cmaj7
I'd rather watch you
Em Cmaj7
Hey, I'd rather watch you
[Bridge]
G
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
Ain't nothing I'd rather do
Em
You're killin' me without even tryin'
Cmaj7
Is there any wonderin' why
[Chorus]
G
I'd rather watch you
Cmaj7
Killin' it like you do
Cmaj7
Pullin' down your shades, takin' in the view
Cmaj7
I could do the same right now, but I don't want to
G
I'd rather watch you
[Outro]
Cmaj7
Watchin' the waves roll in
Cmaj7
Your dirty blonde blowin' in the wind
Em
Water droppin' on your skin
Cmaj7
Again, and again, and again
Em Cmaj7
I'd rather watch you
Em Cmaj7
I'd rather watch you
