[Verse] CGAmC Astair your glare is killing me FG Astair in skies of blue CGAmC The signs you wear are making me FG So confused
[Chorus 1] CG But the mountains and the trees AmG/C Are they just what you need F Or are they less than what G You'd expect to see CG And if you're leaving well come AmG/CF Give me reason why I let you down GAmG/CF Before you turn around now now GC Before you turn around
[Instrumental] GAmG/CFG
[Verse] CGAm Astair you're there and I'm still here FG I swear I'm so confused CGAm The signs you wear are making me FG Feel like I'm the one to lose
[Chorus 2] CG But the canyons and the seas AmG/C Are they just what you need F Or are they less than what G You'd expect to see CG And if you're leaving well come AmG/CF Give me reason why I let you down GAmG/CF Before you turn around now, now GC Before you turn around
