[Am]
[Am]Trying on a brand new dress
But you haven't worn the old one yet.
You've come too [F]far, to turn around [Am]now.
Giving up the good fight.
You're as strong as anyone.
You're back where[F] you started from,
I see you're back where you started from.
Dm,C
[C]Staring down the [Em]stars, jealous of the [F]moon
You [Dm]wish you could [G]fly.
[C]But you're staying where you[Em] are,
there's nothing you can [F]do,
if you're [Dm]too scared to [G]try.
[Am]
[Am]Drag your pretty head around
Swearing you're gonna drown with a beautiful [F]sigh and a river of lies.
Dm,C
(Chorus)
[E]
[E]Why don't you call me, I could[Am] save you.
[E]Together we'll find a god we can [F]pray to that will take you by [Am]the hand.
[Am]I hate to see a friend of mine,
Laughing out loud when she's crying [F]inside,
but you've got your pride.
Dm,C
(Chorus)
[C]You're staring down the [Em]stars,
[C]You stay where you [Em]are,
[C]You're jealous of the[Em] moon, but there's nothing you [F]can do if you're [Dm]too
scared to [G]try,
If you're [Dm]too scared to [G]try.
[Am]
