    C - Em

 

    C

1.      This town is colder now, I think it’s sick of us,

Em

    it’s time to make our move, I’m shakin’ off the rust.

C

    I’ve got me heart set on anywhere but here,

Em                                                                 Am

    I’m staring down myself, counting up the years.

                   F                                G                                             Am

    Steady hands, just take the wheel, and every glance is killing me,

                                             F

    time to make one last appeal for the life I lead.

 

   C                                                          G

Stop and stare, I think I’m moving but I go nowhere,

                                    Am

yeah, I know that everyone gets scared,

                                      F

but I’ve become what I can’t be, oh.

    C                                                                       G

Stop and stare, you start to wonder why you’re here, not there,

                                           Am

and you’d give anything to get what’s fair,

                                               F                                             C

but fair ain’t what you really need. Oh, can you see what I see ? 

 

     C                                                                       Em

2.      They’re trying to come back, all my senses push,

                                                                    Am

    untie the weight bags, I never thought I could.

                  F                        Dm               G                       Am

    Steady feet don’t fail me now, gonna run till you can’t walk,

                        F                     G                               F

    something pulls my focus out, and I’m standing down.

 

   C                                                          G

Stop and stare, I think I’m moving but I go nowhere,

                                    Am

yeah, I know that everyone gets scared,

                                      F

but I’ve become what I can’t be, oh.

 

 

 

 

 

    C                                                                       G

Stop and stare, you start to wonder why you’re here, not there,

                                           Am

and you’d give anything to get what’s fair,

                                               F

but fair ain’t what you really need.

 

                             C                       G                     Am     - F - G

+  Oh, what you need, what you need, what you need.

       C                                                         Em

    Stop and stare, I think I’m moving but I go nowhere,

                                        Am

    yeah, I know that everyone gets scared,

                                                 F                                        C

   but I’ve become what I can’t be, oh do you see what I see ?
