# An easier way to play Stop and Stare w/o the E G#hord

VERSE 1
   G#                                    
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
   Cm
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust
  G#
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
   Cm                                    Fm   
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
                              C#
Steady hands, just take the wheel
                          Fm
And every glance is killing me
                  C#
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

CHORUS

  G#
Stop and stare
                         D#
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
                     Fm
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
                        C#        C#    D#
But I've become what I can't be, oh

 G#
Stop and stare
                                 D#
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not 'there'
                           Fm
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
                              C#
But fair ain't what you really need
C#                       G#
Oh, can you see what I see?

(Same Pattern of chords as for verse 1)

They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down
