[Verse 1]
Gm Dm Cm
I wanted to sit out of this one but my God you're so convincing
Gm Dm Cm
I said I would, and I meant I'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies
Gm Dm Cm
I sank my teeth into kingdom come and spit out my years and held back my tongue
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm Cm
Make this your business what I am about to say
Gm Dm Cm
The last touch between us took this all the way
Eb A# Gm Dm
Don't believe for once that I could let this go away
Eb A# Gm Dm
It's right behind, these eyes of mine even if I stay

Gm Dm Cm Gm Dm Cm
And I wanted to fix this like you fixed my name to this
Gm Dm Cm
I said I would, and I meant I'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies
Gm Dm Cm
I sank my teeth into kingdom come and spit out my years pulled back my tongue
[Chorus 1]
Gm
Forget the wasted time we've made it
Dm Cm
The stars are out just in time to see
Gm
The dark retreating and shadows fleeting
Dm Cm
We found the ground beneath our feet
Gm
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
Dm Cm
What's stopping you don't let this in
Gm
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
Dm Cm Gm
What's stopping you can't stop all of this

All of this
[Verse 4]
Gm Dm
These clumsy arms can't be the first
Cm
Distance your regrets is what I've heard
Gm
You sit there with a pardon like a present

Oh my soul
Gm
Those words I guess I'm never gonna be alone
Dm Cm
But I'm on my own
Gm Dm Cm
Don't believe for once that I would let this go away
[Chorus 2]
Gm
Forget the wasted time we've made it
(I knew it right away)
Dm Cm
The stars are out just in time to see
(This would break all of their hearts)
Gm
The dark retreating and shadows fleeting
(I couldn't stay away)
Dm Cm
We found the ground beneath our feet
(D good person always plays their part)
Gm
What's stopping you (What's stopping you)

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