[Intro]
C Em
[VERSE 1]
C
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
Em
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust
C
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
Em Am
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
F
Steady hands, just take the wheel
Am
And every glance is killing me
F
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead
[CHORUS]
C
Stop and stare
G
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Am
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
F F G
But I've become what I can't be, oh
C
Stop and stare
G
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not 'there'
Am
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
F
But fair ain't what you really need
F C
Oh, can you see what I see?
[VERSE 2]
C
They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
Em
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could
Am
Steady feet, don't fail me now
F
Gonna run till you can't walk
Am
Something pulls my focus out
F
And I'm standing down
[CHORUS]
C
Stop and stare
G
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Am
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
F F ( G-Optional)
But I've become what I can't be, oh
C
Stop and stare
G
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not 'there'
Am
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
F
But fair ain't what you really need
G C
Oh, you don't need
Em Am F
Oh Oh Oooooo
G
What you need, what you need, what you need
[ENDING]
C
Stop and stare
G
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Am
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
F G
But I've become what I can't be, oh
C
Oh, do you see what I see?
