You're taking the fun, out of everything.

Making me run, when I don't want to think.

You're taking the fun, out of everything.

I don't want to think at all.

 

CHORUS:

E          D           B          D

There's no other way.  There's no other way.

E            D        E

All that you can do is watch them play.

 

OPENING RIFF REPRISE:

 

You're taking the fun out of everything.

You're making it clear when I don't want to think.

You're taking me up when I don't want to go up anymore.

I'm just watching it all...

 

CHORUS:

 

I'll watch you play.
