The stars are out just in time to see

We found the ground beneath our feet

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