Trying on a brand new dress

But you haven't worn the old one yet.
                F                   Am
You've come too far, to turn around now.

Giving up the good fight.

You're as strong as anyone.
                 F
You're back where you started from,

I see you're back where you started from.

Dm,C
(Chorus:)
C                Em                    F
Staring down the stars, jealous of the moon
     Dm            G
You wish you could fly.
C                           Em
But you're staying where you are,
                        F
there's nothing you can do,
          Dm            G
if you're too scared to try.

Drag your pretty head around
                                             F
Swearing you're gonna drown with a beautiful sigh and a river of lies.


Dm,C

(Chorus)

E

E                             Am
Why don't you call me, I could save you.
E                                F                             Am
Together we'll find a god we can pray to that will take you by the hand.


Am
I hate to see a friend of mine,
                                    F
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside,
but you've got your pride.

Dm,C

(Chorus)

C                       Em
You're staring down the stars,
C                  Em
You stay where you are,
C                    Em                             F                Dm            G
You're jealous of the moon, but there's nothing you can do if you're too scared to try,
          Dm            G
If you're too scared to try.

Am
