Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Intro:

F#F# BB x2

Verse 1:
F#F#                     BB
Always heard about how cruel the world could be
F#F#                        BB
Guess I had to see it for myself
F#F#                        BB
Got too swept up in false ideas of destiny
F#F#                                 BB
Time to put this dream back on the shelf



Pre-Chorus:
    D#mD#m
But how do you reconcile
BB                           F#F#    C#C#
What you feel with what you know?
D#mD#m                 BB
How do you force the heart
                 F#F#  C#C#
To simply let it go?



Chorus:
F#F#
You take a step back

You take a breath in
BB
Silently make your peace with
C#C#
Having to start again
F#F#
Capture this moment in your mind
        A#mA#m         BB
Do your best not to cry
              C#C#
As you say goodbye
                  F#F#   BB FF BB
And you close the door

Verse 2:
F#F#                      BB
A augmentedA curtain falls upon an empty darkened stage
F#F#                     BB
No one to see my final bow
F#F#                             BB
I walk the streets, the people seem to be the same
F#F#                             BB
Yet everything has changed somehow


Pre-Chorus:
D#mD#m                     BB
They told you not to mistake
                           F#F#   C#C#
What you want for what you need
      D#mD#m
Don't let them watch you deflate
BB                        F#F#   C#C#
When it turns out life agreed



Chorus:
F#F#
Put on a brave face

Back to reality
BB
Mask the shame inside so
C#C#
Nobody else can see
F#F#
Ignore the murmurings of
         A#mA#m        BB
All the "I told you so"s
                    C#C#
That's just how it goes
                   F#F#   BB F#F# BB
When you close the door



Bridge:
F#F#
And I don't know what made me
     A#mA#m
Think I was different from
    BB
The millions of dreamers
    C#C#
Who share this yearning
F#F#
My life not over and I'll
A#mA#m
Find ways to move on
         BB
Can't be stuck in this moment
          C#C#
While the world keeps on turning
             D#mD#m   C#C#   BB
Please don't leave me behind
             D#mD#m   C#C#   BB
Please don't leave me behind
