Key: F

Introduction:

             F                         F#º                      G                    D      Am  
You're not ready for the world outside.
F                    F#º                                    G                         D         Am  
You keep pretending but you just can't hide.
F                    C                                         Am                                      Bb2  
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
     Am            G  
But I...
F                                      F#º                            G            D      Am  
You're path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
F                            F#º                            G            D                 Am  
And you can meet it but you never will.
F                            C                                              Am                 Bb2  
And I'm the reason that you're standing still.
        Am         G  
But I...
                                        F                 G  
I wish I could say the right words
        Em                                                    F  
To lead you through this land.
                                  Am                      G/B  
Wish I could play the father
          C                                      F  
And take you by the hand.
                                  D#      Bb2  
Wish I could stay here
          G#  G#m            D#  
But now I understand...
                                         F  
I'm standing in the way.
F                      F#º                                            G                 D      Am  
The cries around you, you don't hear at all.
F                         F#º                              G                      D            Am  
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
F                            C                                              Am                                            Bb2  
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall.
          Am         G  
But I...
                                        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.
                                  D#      Bb2  
Wish I could stay here,
             G#(G#m)                          D#  
Your stalwart standing fast.
                                                    F  
But I'm standing in the way.
                                                    F  
I'm just standing in the way.
