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