You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground Tabulatur von Mayday Parade (für Baryton)

C               G           D/F#        Em
And honestly, I have been begging for answers 
     D                            C
That you and only you can give to me 
               G              D/F#       Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now 
    D                            C
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe 

(And I was nearly scared to death) 
    G             D/F#
And I was nearly scared to death 
Em
(Why you left in paragraphs) 
D
Why you left in paragraphs 
     C
(The words were nearly over us) 
    G                 D/F#
The words were nearly over us 
     Em                         D
You stop and turn and grab your bags 

            G
And I'll be here by the ocean 

Just waiting for proof that there's 
C
sunsets and silhouette dreams 
D/F#     Em
All my sand castles fall 
         D/F#     G
like the ashes of cigarettes 
    C                       D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea 
         G
I could stand here for hours 

Just to ask God the question
    C 
"Is everyone here make-believe?" 
D/F#     Em
  With a tear in His voice
          D/F#            G 
He said, "Son, that's the question." 
          C
Does this deafening silence 
     D
mean nothing to no one but me? 

C---D/F#

C
As hours move to minutes 

And minutes take longer to break 
C
I will be desperately awaiting 

But my tongue won't fall apart 
C
And we've been sitting here for hours 

All alone and in the dark 
C                       G      D/F#
So let me think of to word it 
Em                       D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? 
C                  G                     D/F#
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere 
         Em
I'm sure everything would find me 
           D
All that's left is just to sing 

            G
And I'll be here by the ocean
 
Just waiting for proof that there's 
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams 
       C
All my sand castles fall 
                  D/F#
like the ashes of cigarettes 
    D                       Em D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea 
         G
I could stand here for hours 

Just to ask God the question
    Em 
"Is everyone here make-believe?" 
       C
With a tear in His voice
:
He said, "Son, that's the question." 
          D
Does this deafening silence 

mean nothing to no one but me?

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

            G
And I'll be here by the ocean 

Just waiting for proof that there's
