You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground

C               G           D/F#        Em
  And honestly, I have been begging for answers
     D                            C
That you and only you can give to me
               G              D/F#       Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
    D                            C
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
    G             D/F#
And I was nearly scared to death
Em
(Why you left in paragraphs)
D
Why you left in paragraphs
     C
(The words were nearly over us)
    G                 D/F#
The words were nearly over us
     Em                         D
You stop and turn and grab your bags

Chorus 1:
            G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
C
sunsets and silhouette dreams
D/F#     Em
  All my sand castles fall
         D/F#     G
like the ashes of cigarettes
    C                       D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea
         G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
    C
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
D/F#     Em
  With a tear in His voice
          D/F#            G
He said, "Son, that's the question."
          C
Does this deafening silence
     D
mean nothing to no one but me?


Interlude: C---D/F#

Verse 2:
C (all the way)
  As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
C                       G      D/F#
  So let me think of to word it
Em                       D
  Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
C                  G                     D/F#
  If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
         Em
I'm sure everything would find me
           D
All that's left is just to sing

Chorus 2:
            G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
       C
All my sand castles fall
                  D/F#
like the ashes of cigarettes
    D                       Em D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea
         G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
    Em
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
       C
With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
          D
Does this deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?

Bridge:
           C                      G
And you'll sing to me sweet until then
      C                    G
I may never sail Virginia again
          C              D
Alas this current moves slow for me
B/Eb               Em( hold)           C
this much you must know...we'll meet again
               C (hold)
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death
C
  Tell me once again that you
     Em               D/F#
will love me till the death
             G
And should I die, you swear
     D                 C
that you will come for me
                    Em             D/F# - G - D
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
     C
(And please don't let me go)
    Em     D/F#  G   D
And please don't let me go
     C
(And please don't let me go)
    Em     D/F#  G   D
And please don't let me go

(Repeat Chorus 1)
