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