 D#m
No more excuses and no more playing dead
          C#
There are no silver linings in anything you said
        D#m
If you keep on denying and I could stay away
          C#                             F#
We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it,
we don't need it

Chorus:
     B                                      C#
If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it
          F#                                  D#m
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
           B                          C#
And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it
         D#m
You can tell me to move and I won't go
          C# 
You can tell me to try and I won't go
      B                                      C#
If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it
         F#                                  D#m
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
           B                           C#
And if I try to pretend that I don't see it
        A#sus4
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

No more distractions and no more staying still
I am chasing the skyline much more than
you ever will
You could keep to your story and
I could stick to mine
We could hold up our hands,
say we don't want it, we don't need it it
