Embarrassed by the crowd
          Csus4           
I felt he found my letters

And read each one out loud

In all my dark despair
Gm7             Csus4                  
■   And then he looked right through me
Dm7     C            Dm7                   Gm7
As if I wasn't there ■   I was right there ■
