Verse 1:
   A                       Asus4 A
        As I sit here thinking
         A                    Asus4 A
        Wondering where I am
         C                                       E   D E D E
        Knowing that I could be here but I just sat

        That's where I'm at
Verse 2:
   People walk the shadows
        Falling stars appear
        Other blinding matches come with their cats

        That's where I'm at
Bridge:
   G
        I could never go there
         D

              C        D      Esus4  E
        So I won't go run and hide
