F          Gbdim         G        D   Am
You're not ready for the world outside.
F        Gbdim              G          D    Am
You keep pretending but you just can't hide.
F        C                Am               Bbsus2
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
  Am     G
But I...
F               Gbdim           G     D   Am
You're path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
F           Gbdim           G     D       Am
And you can meet it but you never will.
F           C                  Am       Bbsus2
And I'm the reason that you're standing still.
   Am    G
But I...
               F       G
I wish I could say the right words
   Em                    F
To lead you through this land.
             Am         G/B
Wish I could play the father
    C               F
And take you by the hand.
             Eb   Bbsus2
Wish I could stay here
    Ab Abm     Eb
But now I understand...
    Cm         F
I'm standing in the way.
F         Gbdim                 G       D   Am
The cries around you, you don't hear at all.
F          Gbdim            G         D     Am
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
F           C                  Am                 Bbsus2
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall.
    Am    G
But I...
               F        G
I wish I could lay your arms down
    Em              F
And let you rest at last.
             Am         G/B
Wish I could slay your demons
    C                 F
But now that time has passed.
             Eb   Bbsus2
Wish I could stay here,
     Ab          Eb
Your stalwart standing fast.
    Cm            F
But I'm standing in the way.
    Cm            F
I'm just standing in the way.

You made me
