Verse 1:
C                                                         G                                  C
When you’re covered in a veil that makes you invisible, because your world is closing in - I See You
C                                                                              G                           C
Because you’re the first to say I Love You, or tell your deepest secrets, even though it leaves you open - I See You

Prechorus 1:
Dm                             G                         Dm                           G
In your thoughts you are not worthy of truly being loved, so you hide under the cover of perfection
Dm                             G                                     Dm                             G       C
You can try to hide from everyone your guilt, your pain, your bankrupt soul, try to stay inside the shadows but - I See You

Chorus 1:
Am                                 C
I See You in the crowd of people, if only for a moment
G                                       F                  C
I See You when you’re all alone, a simple greeting worth a notice
Am                                   C
I See You in the rhymes of poets, they tell me of your worth
G                             F                    C
I See You -- when everyone pretends that you’re not there

If you truly wish for love, to belong, to be connected, to gain this you must be right where - I See You
C                                                        G                         C
You must battle insecurities, expand your vulnerability, open up your heart so - I See You

Dm                           G                                    Dm                              G
To bring you into being, out of places where you’re hidden, you must cross - from darkness into light
Dm                        G                          Dm                    G               C
Everyone needs love, to belong to feel connected, to gain this you must be right where - I See You

Chorus 2:
Am                                       C
I See You -- when your light shines like a beacon in the night
G                            F                     C
I See You -- when everyone pretends that you’re not there
Am                            C
I See You -- because you are no longer hidden
G                                   F      C
I See You -- even when you think that no one cares
