D-DU-UDU
You're  not ready  for the world  outside.
You  keep pretending  but you just  can't hide.
I  know I said  that I'd be standing  by your side
 But  I...
You're  path's unbeaten  and it's all  uphill
And  you can meet  it but you never will.
And  I'm the reason  that you're standing still.
 But  I...
 I wish I could say  the right  words
 To lead  you through this land.
 Wish I could play  the father
 And take  you by the hand.
 Wish I could stay here
  )
 But now I understand...
 I'm standing  in the way.
The  cries around  you, you don't hear  at all.
'Cause  you know  I'm here to take  that call.
So  you just lie  there when you should  be standing tall.
 But I...
 I wish I could lay  your arms  down
 And let  you rest at last.
 Wish I could slay  your demons
 But now  that time has passed.
 Wish I could stay here,
 Your stalwart  standing fast.
 But I'm  standing in the way.
 I'm just  standing in the  way.
 <buffy did="" you="" just="" say="" something?="">
 TARA (funny chording, try open picking, very light arrangement)
 
 
 
 I'm  under  your  spell.
 God,  how can this be?
 Playing  with my memory.
 You  know  I've been  through hell.
 Willow,  don't you see?
 There'll  be nothing left of me.
 You  made me
 GILES and TARA
 G:  Believe me, I don't  want to go,
 T: Believe.........
 G:  And it'll grieve  me 'cause I  love you so.
 T: And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so.
 G:  But we both  know...
 T: But we both know...
 G:  Wish I could  say the right words
 T: Wish I could trust that it was
 G:  To lead you through  this land. Wish I could
 T: just this once but I must do what I
 G:  play the  father
 T: must. I can't adjust to this
 G:  And take you by  the hand.
 T: disgust We're done and I just
 G:  Wish  I could  staaaay here.
 T: Wish I could staaaay here.
 G:  Wish  I could  staaaay here.
 T: Wish I could staaaay here.
 G:  Wish  I could  staaaay here.
 T: Wish I could staaaay here.
 G:  Wish I could staaaay.
 T: Wish I could staaaay.
