Verse 1
[Em]Where am I today? I [D]wish that I [C]knew,[D]
'Cause [Em]looking around there's [D]no sign of [A][C]you.[D]
[Em]I don't remember one [D]jump or one [C]leap,
Just [Em]quiet steps [D]away from your [A]lead.[C]
Verse 2
[Em]I'm holding my heart out but [D]clutching it [C]too, [D]
[Em]Feeling this sort of a [D]love that we once [A]knew. [C][D]
[Em]I'm calling this home when it's [D]not even [C]close,
[Em]Playing the role with [D]nerves left [A]exposed.[C]
Chorus 1
[D]Standing on a [C]darkened [G]stage, [D]stumbling through the [C]lines.[G]
[A7]Others have [D]excuses, but [Em]I have my [G][C]reasons [D]why.
Verse 3
[Em]We get distracted by [D]dreams of our [C]own, [D]
But [Em]nobody's happy while [D]feeling [A][C]alone,[D]
And [Em]knowing how hard it [D]hurts when we [C]fall,
We [Em]lean another ladder [D]against the wrong [A]wall. [C]
Chorus 2
And [D]climb high to the [C]highest [G]rung, to [D]shake fists at the [C]sky.
While others have excuses, I [Em]have my [G][C]reasons [D]why.
Bridge
With so much [D]deception it's [C]hard not to [Em]wander [D]away,
It's [C]hard not to [Em]wander [D]away,
It's hard not to wander away.
