Intro : |Em D|C D|Em D|A C D|
Verse 1:
Em D C D
Where am I today? I wish that I knew,
Em D A C D
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you.
Em D C D
I don't remember one jump or one leap,
Em D A C (D)
Just quiet steps away from your lead.
Verse 2:
I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too,
Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew.
I'm calling this home when it's not even close,
Playing the role with nerves left exposed.
Chorus 1:
D C G D C G
Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines.
A7 D Em G C D
Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why.
Solo:
|Em D|C D|Em D|A C D|
Verse 3:
We get distracted by dreams of our own,
But nobody's happy while feeling alone,
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall,
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall.
Chorus 2:
D C G D C
And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky.
Em G C D
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why.
Bridge:
D C Em D
With so much deception it's hard not to wander away,
C Em D
It's hard not to wander away,

Intro (play continuously and fade)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NICKEL CREEK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
