[Intro] F C Dm Bb F C Dm Bb [Verse 1]
        C                              Dm        Bb
By the harbour I harbour the strangest memories

                   C
Older than I could ever be

                         Dm      Bb
Yet still Stranded in nostalgia

                    C
So tonight I'll try harder

                          Dm           Bb
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me

                        C
In a cast that's taken places

Dm              Bb
I'm unsure of where I want to be
[Chorus]
F
Stand up

C
Stand up

           Dm
And stand down

      Bb
I'll climb El Capitan

F   C           Dm              Bb
And jump off to cheers from the crowd

F
Stand up

C
Stand up

           Dm
And stand down

      Bb                  F
And I hope you take your camera

   C              Dm            Bb
To photograph my tears as they hit the ground
[Verse 2]
C
No one even listens

                  Dm            Bb
The same way that no one ever laughs

                C
I'm digging the car out of the snow

               Dm                     Bb
I'm wondering where the summer went to

               C
Circled by your secrets

                             Dm   Bb
I'm hoping they don't include me

                     C
At least i'm in good company

                  Dm             Bb
Because there's no one else around except me
[Chorus]
F
Stand up

C
Stand up

           Dm
And stand down

      Bb
I'll climb El Capitan

F   C           Dm              Bb
And jump off to cheers from the crowd

F
Stand up

Stand up

           Dm

And I hope you take your camera

C                   Dm         Bb
Silence makes the loudest sound
[Break] Dm C Bb Bb Dm C Bb Bb Dm C Bb Bb F C Dm Bb F C Dm Bb [Bridge]
                      F              C
You were looking at pictures in the distance

           Dm       Bb             F
Hoping to see the future in your pictures

        C                 Dm
Of the distance hoping to see

     Bb                F               C
The future looking at pictures in the distance

          Dm        Bb              F
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
C Dm Bb F
