Intro:
F#m  D  A


Verse 1:
F#m                    D          A
You know I’m trying to climb that hill,
F#m                         D       A
In ten years, I’ll probably be here still.
F#m                  D      A
Someday I’ll finally get my due,
F#m                         D       A    D  F#m  E  D  E  F#m  D
But my fate, babe, it ain’t tied to you.


Verse 2:
F#m                    D        A
I saw you cut him down where he stood,
F#m                 D        A
Somehow I’d always known you would.
F#m                      D      A
Come and find me, on the battlefield,
F#m                D             A
Just say the magic word and I’ll yield.

Chorus:
D                    F#m
If I could get that close,
    E                 D   E
I’d know just what to do,
                 F#m
When the whistle blows,
  D                       A
I might as well enjoy the view.
D                        F#m
But I’ll never get that close,
         E                 D    E
Maybe I don’t have what it takes.
                     F#m
I’ll never get that close,
  D             Bm
I falter every time,
           A    D         F#m    D  E
Every time you raise the stakes.
                          F#m    D  E  F#m  D  E
Every time you raise the stakes.
                          F#m    D  E  F#m
Every time you raise the stakes.


Verse 3:
F#m              D      A    Asus2
Invite me to the circle dance,
F#m                       D       A    Asus2
If you have me, won’t you take my hand.
F#m               D      A   Asus2
From Monday to my Sunday best,
F#m                      D      A
Strike a deal and put it to the test.


Chorus:
D                 F#m
But when I get so close,
      E                         D   E
I can hold it in the palm of my hand,
                 F#m
When the whistle blows,
  D                       A
I guess I’ll finally understand,
D                        F#m
But I’ll never get that close,
         E                 D    E
Maybe I don’t have what it takes.
                     F#m
I’ll never get that close,
  D             Bm
I falter every time,
                A        D
Every time you raise the stakes.
      Bm   A   D          F#m    D  E
Every time you raise the stakes.
                          F#m    D  E  F#m D  E
Every time you raise the stakes.
                          F#m    D  E  F#m D  E
Every time you raise the stakes.
                          F#m    D  E  F#m D  E
Every time you raise the stakes.
