Dm Am Gm


[Verse 1]

             Dm             Am                    Gm
I wanted to sit out of this one but my God you're so convincing
   Dm                                           Am                      Gm
I said I would, and I meant I'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies
   Dm                                      Am                     Gm
I sank my teeth into kingdom come and spit out my years and held back my tongue


[Verse 2]

 Dm                          Am             Gm
Make this your business what I am about to say
     Dm                    Am               Gm
The last touch between us took this all the way
 Bb               F                  Dm           Am
Don't believe for once that I could let this go away
      Bb                 F            Dm          Am
It's right behind, these eyes of mine even if I stay


[Verse 3]

Dm Am Gm                 Dm                Am       Gm
        And I wanted to fix this like you fixed my name to this
   Dm                                           Am                      Gm
I said I would, and I meant I'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies
   Dm                                      Am                   Gm
I sank my teeth into kingdom come and spit out my years pulled back my tongue


[Chorus 1]

    Dm
Forget the wasted time we've made it
      Am                   Gm
The stars are out just in time to see
     Dm
The dark retreating and shadows fleeting
    Am                 Gm
We found the ground beneath our feet
Dm
  What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
Am                 Gm
  What's stopping you don't let this in
Dm
  What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
Am                 Gm                     Dm
  What's stopping you can't stop all of this
         Am Gm
All of this


[Verse 4]

Dm                                Am
  These clumsy arms can't be the first
               Gm
Distance your regrets is what I've heard
Dm
  You sit there with a pardon like a present
Am       Gm
  Oh my soul
Dm
  Those words I guess I'm never gonna be alone
Am              Gm
  But I'm on my own
 Dm               Am                 Gm
Don't believe for once that I would let this go away


[Chorus 2]

    Dm
Forget the wasted time we've made it

(I knew it right away)
      Am                   Gm
The stars are out just in time to see

(This would break all of their hearts)
     Dm
The dark retreating and shadows fleeting

(I couldn't stay away)
    Am                 Gm
We found the ground beneath our feet

(A good person always plays their part)
Dm
  What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
Am                 Gm
  What's stopping you don't let this in
Dm
  What's stopping you (What's stopping you)
Am                 Gm
  What's stopping you can't stop all of this


[Bridge]

Dm
   Always wanted to say that I would be the first
Dm
From the ground to the table I planned and rehearsed
Dm
To be there at the moment to capture my name
Dm
But it's yours and not mine, and it's yours that he made


[Breakdown]

Dm
Lift up your hands it's surrender or praise
Dm
So you burn all your plans for the words you believed
Dm
The nails you learned to drive between
Dm
The wood and earth that made you see
Dm
That simple men of simple means
Dm
Can hold the heavens in their hands


[Outro]

 F              Am   Dm
Second place I find here

(I've always known my part)
    F              Am        Dm
The upper case is Yours not mine

(But I would love to see this through)
 F                    Am   Dm
Teach these hands to have fear

(Could we go back to the start)
F               Am        Dm
Orchestrate my words and lines

(When it was just me and you)
F              Am           Dm          F
  But I never said I wanted any of this...
