	        F          F#dim         G        D   Am 
You're not ready for the world outside. 
F        F#dim              G          D    Am 
You keep pretending but you just can't hide. 
F        C                Am               Bbsus2 
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side 
  Am     G 
But I... 
F               F#dim           G     D   Am 
You're path's unbeaten and it's all uphill 
F           F#dim           G     D       Am 
And you can meet it but you never will. 
F           C                  Am       Bbsus2 
And I'm the reason that you're standing still. 
   Am    G 
But I... 

               F       G 
I wish I could say the right words 
   Em                    F 
To lead you through this land. 
             Am         G/B 
Wish I could play the father 
    C               F 
And take you by the hand. 
             D#   Bbsus2 
Wish I could stay here 
    G# G#m)     D# 
But now I understand... 
    Cm(sus)         F 
I'm standing in the way. 

F         F#dim                 G       D   Am 
The cries around you, you don't hear at all. 
F          F#dim            G         D     Am 
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call. 
F           C                  Am                 Bbsus2 
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall. 
    Am    G 
But I... 

               F        G 
I wish I could lay your arms down 
    Em              F 
And let you rest at last. 
             Am         G/B 
Wish I could slay your demons 
    C                 F 
But now that time has passed. 
             D#   Bbsus2 
Wish I could stay here, 
     G# (G#m)          D# 
Your stalwart standing fast. 
    Cm(sus)             F 
But I'm standing in the way. 
    Cm(sus)             F 
I'm just standing in the way.
