Verse 1
Am                        Bm
Standing by myself on the sidewalk

Am                          Bm
Nothing in this world could make me talk

Am                              Bm
I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air

Am                      Bm
Alone I see myself and stare

Am                 Bm
Locked inside this world you gave me

      Am                    Bm
It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear
Chorus
    D                             G
And I know all the ways and I'll try

    D                   G
And I've seen all the places I get eyed

D                G
If I bear myself in the yard

D                               G
Would the end of the day always seem so hard
Am - Bm x2 Verse 2
Am                     Bm
Wait for the world to turn around

Am              Bm
Then I won't go up or down

Am                  Bm
Gentle winds must sometimes sit

     Am                  Bm
The face that looks on in my mirror
Chorus
D                                G
And I know all the ways and I can try

D                         G
And I've seen all the places where I hide

D                      G
If I bear myself out in the yard

D                               G
Would the end of the day always be so hard

Bm          C                D
Standing on the edge of the wall

Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah

And I've seen all the places where I hide

D                 G
If I bear myself in the yard

Would the end of the day always be so hard
Am - Bm x2 Verse 3
Am                           Bm
Well all the nights last a thousand years

Am                               Bm
When you're in a time that feels so near

Am                          Bm
I'll just say you were the word I found

Am                   Bm
And then I won't go up or down
Chorus

Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah
