[Em] [C]
This [Em] town was all over [G] stage but now you can't [C] recognize
The [Em] streetlights that are daggers to [G] your eyes
[Dm] You can't [Am] find your bearings, [F] you're slipping into [C] the ground
[F] The scene [Am] has no color and [Em] no sound
[G] Do [C] you [Em] still believe in [G] me after the [C] things I've done?
Do you [Em] fear for what we [G] have become?
[Dm] The ground [Am] is uneven, [F] we stumble from [C] day to day
[F] The shelter [Am] where it's easy, I know [Em] your feet are like lead
But you gotta get [F] underway
[C] Drag your heart up [Em] to the starting [Am] line
[F] Forget [C] the ghosts that [G] make you old before your time
[F] [C] It's too easy to [Em] get left [Am] behind
[Dm] I know you've been kicked [F] around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them [C] down on me
[G] Each [C]
[Em] [G] [C]
heart is a paper [G] kite blown around [C] by the breeze
Love won't [Em] rest till it brings you to [G] your knees
[Dm] Some [Am] find it easy, [F] some will never [C] even know
[F] You think you've [Am] done your journey
Then [Em] you stumble and [G] find that there's such a long [F] way to go
[C] Drag your heart up [Em] to the starting [Am] line
[F] Forget [C] the ghosts that [G] make you old before your time
[F] [C] It's too easy to [Em] get left [Am]
[Dm] behind
I know you've been kicked [F] around
You wanna be lost and not be [Bb] found
Let's make the back way into [F] town
Drink to the bad times, lay them down [C] on [Em] me
[G] [C]
[Em] [G] [C]
Girl, I still believe in you
[G] You're too good to [C] fall so low
We're gonna [Em] find a better [G] life, I know
[Dm] Things will [Am] be clearer [F] as soon as we [C] make a start
[F] We'll be that [Am] much nearer
We're [Em] too old to just [G] stand here waiting to [F] break apart
[C] Drag your heart up [Em] to the [Am] starting line
[F] Forget [C] the ghosts that [G] make you old before your [F] time
[C] It's too easy to [Em] get left [Am]
[Dm] behind
I know you've been kicked [F] around
But tie up your [C] thoughts and lay them down on me
[G] On [C] me
