You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground

Key: [G]

Chords used:

[C]  And honestly, [G]I have been [D/F#]begging for [Em]answers
That [D]you and only you can give to [C]me
A voice crying [G]loud I've been [D/F#]crying for [Em]days now
And [D]as I start to run, I stop to [C]breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
And [G]I was nearly s[D/F#]cared to death
[Em](Why you left in paragraphs)
[D]Why you left in paragraphs
(The [C]words were nearly over us)
The [G]words were nearly [D/F#]over us
You s[Em]top and turn and grab your [D]bags

And I'll be [G]here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
[C]sunsets and silhouette dreams
[D/F#]  All my [Em]sand castles fall
like the [D/F#]ashes of [G]cigarettes
And [C]every waves drags me to [D/F#]sea
I could s[G]tand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
"Is [C]everyone here make-believe?"
[D/F#]  With a [Em]tear in His voice
He said, "[D/F#]Son, that's the [G]question."
Does this [C]deafening silence
mean [D]nothing to no one but me?

C---D/F

[C]  As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
[C]  So let me think of to [G]word it[D/F#]
[Em]  Is it too soon to say '[D]perfect'?
[C]  If I could find a[G]nother thirty minutes [D/F#]somewhere
I'm sure [Em]everything would find me
All that's [D]left is just to sing

And I'll be [G]here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
[Em]sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my [C]sand castles fall
like the ashes of [D/F#]cigarettes
And [D]every waves drags me to [Em]sea[D/F#]
I could s[G]tand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
"Is [Em]everyone here make-believe?"
With a [C]tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this [D]deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?

And you'll [C]sing to me sweet until [G]then
I may [C]never sail Virginia a[G]gain
Alas this [C]current moves s[D]low for me
[B/D#]this much you must [Em]know...we'll meet a[C]gain
And I'll, I'll [C]have you know I'm scared to death
[C]  Tell me once again that you
will [Em]love me till the [D/F#]death
And should I [G]die, you swear
that [D]you will come for [C]me
As I fade away, you [Em]reach out your [D/F#]arms [G]   [D]
(And [C]please don't let me go)
And [Em]please [D/F#]don't [G]let [D]me go
(And [C]please don't let me go)
And [Em]please [D/F#]don't [G]let [D]me go

(Repeat Chorus 1)
