Every Breath You Take by The Police

The original recording is in Eb tuning. However, the live versions are all in standard E tuning. I've included the actual chords that Andy Summers uses. Take a look at the instructional video for more details.

Song: Every Breath You Take
By:   The Police   

[intro:]  2 X [ A  F#m  D  E  A]

[verse:1]
                  A                   F#m
Every breath you take, every move you make
                 D                    E
Every bond you break, every step you take
                 F#m
I'll be watching you
              A                F#m
Every single day every word you say
                D                    E
Every game you play every night you stay
                 A
I'll be watching you

[chorus:]
              D
Oh can't you see
C             A                      B
You belong to me, how my poor heart aches
                     E
With every step you take
                A                  F#m
Every move you make, every vow you break
                  D                    E     
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
                 F#m
I'll be watching you

[bridge:]
F                                                  G
Since you've been gone, I've been lost without a trace
                                      F 
I dream at night I can only see your face
                                      G
I look around but it's you I can't replace
                                 F
I feel so cold I long for your embrace
                            A   
I keep crying baby, baby please

              D
Oh can't you see
C              A                     B
You belong to me, how my poor heart aches
                     E
With every step you take
                A                   F#m
Every move you make, every vow you break
                 D                     E     
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake

I'll be watching you
                 D                   E
