Intro: G  C
 
G                C              G     (F#) 
   The lights go out, I am all alone 
G                   C                      G     (F#) 
   All the trees outside are buried in the snow 
G                  C               G           (F#) 
  I spend my night dancing with my own shadow 
       G               C                G 
And it holds me and it never lets me go 


      G                 C 
I move slow and steady 
      Em               Am 
But I feel like a waterfall 
        G                    C 
Yeah, I move slow and steady 
         Em                  Am 
Past the ones that I used to know 


Verse 2 

My dear old friend, take me for a spin 
Two wolves in the dark, running in the wind 
I'm letting go, but I've never felt better 
Passing by all the monsters in my head 

Chorus 


        G           C 
And I'm never ready 
       G                      (F#) 
'Cause I know, I know, I know 
     G                 C 
That time won't let me 
G           Em      Am 
Show what I want to show 

Chorus 

Tag 
And I'm never ready 
'Cause I know, I know, I know 
That time won't let me 
Show what I want to show 


Outro: G  C  Em  Am
