Intro: E – B/D#
Verse1:
E
This town is colder now, I think it’s sick of us
B/D#
It’s time to make our move, I’m shakin off the rust
E
I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here
B/D# C#m
I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Prechorus:
C#m A
Steady hands, just take the wheel
C#m
And every glance is killing me
A
Time to make one last appeal
E
For the life I lead
Chorus:
E
Stop and stare
B
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
C#m
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
A
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
E
Stop and stare
B
You start to wonder why you’re ’here’ not there
C#m
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
A
But fair ain’t what you really need
E
Oh, can u see what I see
Verse2:
E B
They’re tryin to come back, all my senses push
C#m
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could
A
Steady feet, don’t fail me now
C#m
Gonna run till you can’t walk
A
But something pulls my focus out
E
And I’m standing down
Chorus:
E
Stop and stare
B
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
C#m
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
A (B)
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
E
Stop and stare
B
You start to wonder why you’re ’here’ not there
C#m
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
A
But fair ain’t what you really need
E
Oh, can u see what I see
E – B – C#m – A-B
What u need, what u need…
E
Stop and stare
B
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
C#m
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
A
But I’ve become what I can’t be
E
Oh, do u see what I see…
