Verse 1
        C                              Dm        Bb
By the harbour I harbour the strangest memories
                   C
Older than I could ever be
                         Dm      Bb
Yet still Stranded in nostalgia
                    C
So tonight I'll try harder
                          Dm           Bb
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me
                        C
In a cast that's taken places
Dm              Bb
I'm unsure of where I want to be
Chorus
F
Stand up
C
Stand up
           Dm
And stand down
      Bb
I'll climb El Capitan
F   C           Dm              Bb
And jump off to cheers from the crowd
F
Stand up
C
Stand up
           Dm
And stand down
      Bb                  F
And I hope you take your camera
   C              Dm            Bb
To photograph my tears as they hit the ground
Verse 2
C
No one even listens
                  Dm            Bb
The same way that no one ever laughs
                C
I'm digging the car out of the snow
               Dm                     Bb
I'm wondering where the summer went to
               C
Circled by your secrets
                             Dm   Bb
I'm hoping they don't include me
                     C
At least i'm in good company
                  Dm             Bb
Because there's no one else around except me
Chorus
F

C
Stand up
           Dm

And jump off to cheers from the crowd

Silence makes the loudest sound

You were looking at pictures in the distance
           Dm       Bb             F
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
        C                 Dm
Of the distance hoping to see
     Bb                F               C
The future looking at pictures in the distance
          Dm        Bb              F
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
