F           D             G        D     Am
 You're not ready for the world outside
F             D               G          D    Am
 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
But I...

F              D               G      D    Am
 Your path's unbeaten and it's all up hill
F            D                G     D    Am
 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...

               F        G             Em                    F
I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land
            Am        G          C               F
Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
             Eb    A#        G#m        Eb
Wish I could stay-ay-ay, but now I understand
    Cm              F
I'm standing in the way

F           D                    G       D    Am
 The cries around you, you don't hear at all
F                D           G         D     Am
 'Cause you know I'm here to take that call
F            C                  Am                 Bb
 So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
    Am   G
But I...

               F        G             Em              F
I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last
             Am         G          C                 F
Wish I could slay your demons, but now that time has passed
             Eb    A#        G#m               Eb
Wish I could stay-ay-ay your stalwart standing fast
       Cm               F
But I'm standing in the way
        Cm               F
I'm just standing in the way
