Intro C-----------Em VERSE 1 E This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us Abm It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust E I've got my heart set on anywhere but here Abm Dbm I'm staring down myself, counting up the years A Steady hands, just take the wheel Dbm And every glance is killing me A Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead CHORUS E Stop and stare B I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Dbm Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared A A B But I've become what I can't be, oh E Stop and stare B You start to wonder why you're 'here' not 'there' Dbm And you'd give anything to get what's fair A But fair ain't what you really need A E Oh, can you see what I see? VERSE 2 ( 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 E Stop and stare B I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Dbm Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared A A ( B-Optional ) But I've become what I can't be, oh E Stop and stare B You start to wonder why you're 'here' not 'there' Dbm And you'd give anything to get what's fair A But fair ain't what you really need B E Oh, you don't need Abm Dbm A Oh Oh Oooooo B What you need, what you need, what you need ENDING E Stop and stare B I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Dbm Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared A B But I've become what I can't be, oh E Oh, do you see what I see?

How to play Stop And Stare on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 102 bpm. On this page the song is in E major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Build from a soft verse strum to full driving downstrokes in the chorus
