Intro
D#m A#m G#m
[Verse 1]
D#m A#m G#m
I wanted to sit out of this one but my God you're so convincing
D#m A#m G#m
I said I would, and I meant I'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies
D#m A#m G#m
I sank my teeth into kingdom come and spit out my years and held back my tongue
[Verse 2]
D#m A#m G#m
Make this your business what I am about to say
D#m A#m G#m
The last touch between us took this all the way
Cb F# D#m A#m
Don't believe for once that I could let this go away
Cb F# D#m A#m
It's right behind, these eyes of mine even if I stay
[Verse 3]
D#m A#m G#m D#m A#m G#m
And I wanted to fix this like you fixed my name to this
D#m A#m G#m
I said I would, and I meant I'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies
D#m A#m G#m
I sank my teeth into kingdom come and spit out my years pulled back my tongue
[Chorus 1]
D#m
Forget the wasted time we've made it
A#m G#m
The stars are out just in time to see
D#m
The dark retreating and shadows fleeting
A#m G#m
We found the ground beneath our feet
D#m
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
A#m G#m
What's stopping you don't let this in
D#m
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
A#m G#m D#m
What's stopping you can't stop all of this
A#m G#m
All of this
[Verse 4]
D#m A#m
These clumsy arms can't be the first
G#m
Distance your regrets is what I've heard
D#m
You sit there with a pardon like a present
A#m G#m
Oh my soul
D#m
Those words I guess I'm never gonna be alone
A#m G#m
But I'm on my own
D#m A#m G#m
Don't believe for once that I would let this go away
[Chorus 2]
D#m
Forget the wasted time we've made it
(I knew it right away)
A#m G#m
The stars are out just in time to see
(This would break all of their hearts)
D#m
The dark retreating and shadows fleeting
(I couldn't stay away)
A#m G#m
We found the ground beneath our feet
(A# good person always plays their part)
D#m
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
A#m G#m
What's stopping you don't let this in
D#m
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
A#m G#m
What's stopping you can't stop all of this
[Bridge]
D#m
Always wanted to say that I would be the first
D#m
From the ground to the table I planned and rehearsed
D#m
To be there at the moment to capture my name
D#m
But it's yours and not mine, and it's yours that he made
[Breakdown]
D#m
Lift up your hands it's surrender or praise
D#m
So you burn all your plans for the words you believed
D#m
The nails you learned to drive between
D#m
The wood and earth that made you see
D#m
That simple men of simple means
D#m
Can hold the heavens in their hands
[Outro]
F# A#m D#m
Second place I find here
(I've always known my part)
F# A#m D#m
The upper case is Yours not mine
(But I would love to see this through)
F# A#m D#m
Teach these hands to have fear
(Could we go back to the start)
F# A#m D#m
Orchestrate my words and lines
(When it was just me and you)
F# A#m D#m F#
But I never said I wanted any of this...
A#m D#m F
