F
The lights change on the hill
                          A#
The air seems strangely still
              F
Everyone's asleep
F
The floorboards creak at dawn
                        A#
As you walk out on the lawn
                    F
The grass is wet beneath

     Dm       Gm      A#
You think it rather strange
     Dm       Gm     A#
You think it rather weird
A#
It's fair to say that

Chorus:
 C                      F  A# Gm
Nothing is keeping you here
 C                      F  A# Gm
Nothing is keeping you here
 C                      F
Nothing is keeping you here

The phone is off the hook
As you sink into a book
You don't know where you are
From the world; detached
Unto a girl you latched
It never got too far

And everybody stares
And everybody cares
It's fair to say that

Chorus

Gm  Dm          Gm
And everybody's dawn
Gm  Dm         Gm
And everybody cares
      A                A#
You knew your day to shine

Chorus:
Would come without you here
Come without you here
Nothing was keeping you here
Here
Nothing is keeping you here
