Capo: 2nd 

 G                                             Am 
Tongue tied, talking to my feet, when there's nothing better than self defeat 
    G                                      Am 
I stop, stall, try to stand tall,  when whatever I say means nothing at all 
   D                                C                               D    
I walk, through all the steps in my head,  it made more sense in my head 
                    C                    
Plain and simple I can't keep climbing  
   Em                                      Am 
I try to find the words but they won't surrender 
      Em                                Am 
So I lie to you and say that I don't remember 

                     D                           C     
Singing like a hurricane,  dancing like Fred Astaire,   
                            D                                            Em   
Walking like a young John Wayne,  I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs, 
  Am                                   Em    Am   
       Talking like I'm falling downstairs 

  G                                    Am 
Stut-ter,  mutter to myself,  that you can't quote something from someone else 
   G                                           Am 
I duck - swerve,  lose my nerve,  it's on the tip of my tongue  
                                   D                                 C    
So just give me the word and I'll walk, through all the steps in my head 
                           D                        C                    
It made more sense in my head,  plain and simple I can't keep climbing 
   Em                                      Am 
I try to find the words but they won't surrender 
      Em                                Am 
So I lie to you and say that I don't remember 

                     D                           C     
Singing like a hurricane,  dancing like Fred Astaire,   
                            D                                   C   
Walking like a young John Wayne,  I'm talking like I'm falling down 
                                Em   Am                                Em    Am   
Talking like I'm falling downstairs,    talking like I'm falling downstairs 
                     D                           C     
Singing like a hurricane,  dancing like Fred Astaire,   
                            D                                   C   
Walking like a young John Wayne,  I'm talking like I'm falling down 
                                Em   Am                                Em    Am   
Talking like I'm falling downstairs,    talking like I'm falling downstairs
