----------------------------------------------------------

	Em	D	C	D
	Where am I today? I	wish that I	knew,

	Em	D	A	C	D
'Cause	looking around there's	no sign of	you.

	Em	D	C
	I don't remember one	jump or one	leap,

	Em	D	A	C	D
Just	quiet steps a	way from your	lead.

Verse 2:

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too,

Feeling just short of a love that we once knew.

I'm calling this home when it's not even close,

Playing the role with nerves left exposed.

Chorus 1:

	D	C	G	D	C	G
	Standing on a	darkened	stage,	stumbling through the	lines.

	A7	D	Em	G	C	D
	Others have ex	cuses, but	I have my	rea	sons	why.

Verse 3:

We get distracted by dreams of our own,

But nobody's happy while feeling alone,

And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall,

We lean another ladder against the wrong wall.

Chorus 2:

	D	C	G	D	C
And	climb high to the	highest	rung, to	shake fists at the	sky.

	Em	G	C	D
While others have excuses, I	have my	rea	sons	why.

Bridge:

	D	C	Em	D
With so much de	ception it's	hard not to	wander a	way,

	C	Em	D
It's	hard not to	wander a	way,

It's hard not to wander away.
