Standing
Words & Music By: Joss Whedon
VERSE:
F F#dim G D/A C/A
You're not ready for the world outside.
F F#dim G D/A C/A
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide.
F C Am Bb
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side,
Am G D
But I...
F F#dim G D/A C/A
Your path is unbeaten and it's all uphill.
F F#dim G D/A C/A
And you can meet it, but you never will.
F C Am Bb
And I'm the reason that you're standing still,
Am G
But I...

CHORUS:
F G
I wish I could say the right words,
Em F
To lead you to this land.
Am G/B
Wish I could play the father,
C F
And take you by the hand.
Eb/C Bb Am Abm Eb
Wish I could stay, but now I understand,
Cm F
I'm standing in the way...
VERSE:
F F#dim G D/A C/A
The cries around you, you don't hear at all,
F F#dim G D/A C/A
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
F C Am Bb
And you just lie there when you should be standing tall,
Am Bb
But I...
CHORUS:
F G
I wish I could lay your arms down,
Em F
And let you rest at last.
Am G/B
Wish I could slay your demons,
C F
But now that time has passed.
Eb/C Bb Am Abm Eb
Wish I could stay, your stalwart standing fast,
Cm F
But I'm standing in the way...
Cm F
I'm just standing in the way...
