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