A#m
Always wanted to say that I would be the first

From the ground to the table I planned and rehearsed
A#m
To be there at the moment to capture my name
A#m
But it's yours and not mine, and it's yours that he made
[Breakdown]
A#m
Lift up your hands it's surrender or praise
A#m
So you burn all your plans for the words you believed
A#m
The nails you learned to drive between
A#m
The wood and earth that made you see
A#m
That simple men of simple means
A#m
Can hold the heavens in their hands
[Outro]
C# Fm A#m
Second place I find here
(I've always known my part)
C# Fm A#m
The upper case is Yours not mine
(But I would love to see this through)
C# Fm A#m
Teach these hands to have fear
(Could we go back to the start)
C# Fm A#m
Orchestrate my words and lines
(When it was just me and you)
C# Fm A#m C#
But I never said I wanted any of this...
Fm A#m F
