C G
In this little town
C G
cars they don't slow down
F
The lonely people here
Em
They throw lonely stares
F
Into their lonely hearts
C G
I watch the traffic lights
C G
I drift on Christmas nights
F
I wanna set it straight
Em
I wanna make it right
F
But girl you're so far away
C F C
Oh, hold still for a moment and I'll find you
F C
I'm so close, I'm just a small step behind you girl
F C
And I could hold you if you just stood still
I jaywalk through this town
I drop leaves on the ground
But lonely people here
Just gaze their eyes on air
And miss the autumn roar
I roam through traffic lights
I fade through Christmas nights
I wanna set it straight
I wanna make it right
But man you're so far away
Oh, I'll hold still for a moment so you'll find me
You're so close, I can feel you all around me boy
I know you're somewhere out there
I know you're somewhere out there
Oh, hold still for a moment and I'll find you
You're so close, I can feel you all around me
And I could hold you if you just stood still
Oh, I'll hold still for a moment so you'll find me
I'm so close, I'm just a small step behind you
I know you're somewhere out there
I know you're somewhere out there
I know you're somewhere out there
