Biography:
Steve Moakler has proved himself to be a master pop craftsman. His music is artistic, but accessible; indie roots with mass appeal. Listen to his music, and you too won’t deny his gift for sweet melodies and moving narratives that stick in your head like happy memories. His songs have a maturity you wouldn’t expect from a 23-year old who is quickly emerging as one of the best of a new generation of pop-rock songwriters who call Nashville home.

Verse 1:
Gsus
I should be out there having my fun
Gsus
Drinking beers with the boys and watching time run
Gsus
I should be listening to what I said
Gsus
When I said stay away from who you can't forget
Pre-Chorus:
Em9 C G
Now you come messing my heart around,
Em9 D Dsus D
Now all I had to do was be,
Chorus:
C G
And I can't play you down
D/F# G
But I won't pull the trigger
C G D/F#
If I said how I felt it would be something bigger
C G Bm Em9
So fast I'll be face first, flat on the ground
C G D/F# G
It's a losing game trying to play, you down
C G D/F# G
It's a losing game trying to play you down
Gsus (Intro)
Here we go
Verse 2:
Gsus
I should be thinking about other stuff
Gsus
Maybe read a book on how to run from love
Gsus
Cause you dragged me down by the heels
Gsus
Had me busted up for years, and years
Pre-Chorus:
Em9 C G
Now you come pushing my heart around
Em9 D Dsus D
All you had to do was be,
Chorus:
C G
And I can't play you down
D/F# G
But I won't pull the trigger
C G D/F#
If I said how I felt it would be something bigger
C G Bm Em9
So fast I'll be face first, flat on the ground
C G D/F# G
It's a losing game trying to play, you down
C G D/F# G
It's a losing game trying to play you down
Bridge:
F C
I don't wanna tell you what you already know
G
Everybody's talkin'
D/F#
Everybody's talkin'
F C Am7
I need some more time just to be alone
