[verse]
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
E
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust
G#m/B
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
E
I'm starin' down myself, countin' up the years
G#m/B
Steady hands, just take the wheel.
C#m
And ev'ry glance is killin' me.
A
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead
C#m A
[chorus]
Stop and stare. I think I'm movin' but I
E
go nowhere. Yeah, I know that ev'ryone gets scared
B C#m
But I've become what I can't be. Oh,
A
Stop and stare. You start to wonder why you're
E
here not there.
B
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
C#m
But fair ain't what you really need
A
Oh, can you see what I see?
E
[verse]
They're try'n' to come back, all my senses push
E
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could,
G#m/B
Steady feet, don't fail me now
C#m
I Will run 'til you can't walk
A
Somethin' pulls my focus out
C#m A
And I'm standin' down.
[chorus]
Stop and stare. I think I'm movin' but I
E
go nowhere. Yeah, I know that ev'ryone gets scared
B C#m
But I've become what I can't be. Oh,
A
Stop and stare. You start to wonder why you're
E
here not there.
B
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
C#m
But fair ain't what you really need
A
Oh, you don't need
