Stop And Stare

The Baseballs - Stop and stare



Intro: C - G/B - Am - F



[Verse 1]

C

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us

G/B

It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust

C

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

G/B                                     Am

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years





[Prechorus]

Am                         F

Steady hands, just take the wheel

                            Am

And every glance is killing me

                        F

Time to make one last appeal

                     C

For the life I lead





[Chorus]

C

Stop and stare

                         G

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

                      Am

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

                            F          C 

But I've become what I can't be, oh







[Verse 2]

C                                         G

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push

                                          Am

Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could

                           F

Steady feet, don't fail me now

                         Am

Gonna run till you can't walk

                             F

But something pulls my focus out

                        C

And I'm standing down





[Chorus]

C

Stop and stare

                         G

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

                      Am

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

                            F      

But I've become what I can't be, oh

C

Stop and stare

                               G

You start to wonder why you're here not there

                           Am

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

                              F

But fair ain't what you really need





[Solo]

C - G - Am - F 





[Chorus 2]

D

Stop and stare

                         A

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

                      Bm

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

                            G          (A)

But I've become what I can't be, oh

D

Stop and stare

                               A

You start to wonder why you're here not there

                           Bm

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

                              G

But fair ain't what you really need



D

Stop and stare.....
