When He Sees Me by Sara Bareilles - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Sara Bareilles Song List
Version 1
            [Verse]
Ab
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
                        Gm
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what?
                      F#
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
                             Fm
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?
                       Ebm
The stranger who might talk too fast
          Ab
Or ask me questions about myself
               Db
Before I've decided that
              F#
He can ask me questions about myself
         Ebm
He might sit too close
            Ab
Or call the waiter by his first name
       Db
Or eat Oreos
            F#
But eat the cookie before the cream?
         Ebm
But what scares me the most
     F
what scares me the most

[Verse]
           Bb
Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it?
                                          Eb
What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it?
What happens then?
   Bb
If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?
                                           Eb
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that
    F                        Gm
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
     F     Eb             Dm Cm
This way I get the best view
    Ebm                Ab
So, when he sees me, I want him to

[Verse]
I'm not defensive
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating
Gm                               F#
While a certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
                               Fm
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
            Ebm                    Ab
He could be criminal, some sort of psychopath
who escaped from an institution,
                     Db
somewhere where they don't have girls
              F#
He could have masterminded some way to find me
            Ebm
He could be colorblind
      Ab
How untrustworthy is that
            Db
He could be less than kind
        F#                                Ebm
Or even worse he could be very nice, have lovely eyes
    F#/C#               B
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
          F7
What do I do with that?
Oh, God

[Verse]
Bb
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
            Eb
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
   Bb
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
                       Eb
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
   Gm9             Eb
To find someone to talk to
    F               Cm
Who likes the way I am
            Eb
Someone who when he sees me
         Bb
Wants to again
