[Intro]
Am 4x
[Chorus]
AmSteady, steady,
You Amknow when you're ready
DmIt's a long road walking into the sun
The Dmheat can make you lose your head, your sense of direction
Oh Amsteady, steady
AmI am ready to be the...
[Verse 1]
Amone
AmI can take for better but for worse can't condone
AmMost of all for good just makes me ache to be alone, oh Dmuh oh uh
How Amlong is forever?
I'm Amswimming in the dress like a child in her mother's clothes
This Amring around my finger's like a chain around my throat, oh Dmuh oh uh
Are you so sure you Amtamed me?
[Chorus]
AmSteady, steady,
You Amknow when you're ready
DmIt's a long road walking into the sun
The Dmheat can make you lose your head, your sense of direction
Oh Amsteady, steady
AmI am ready to ...
[Verse 2]
Amrun...
We Amtalked about the west by packing up our lives and hopes
Ain't Amit a shame with time our dreams turned into jokes, oh Dmuh oh uh
I won't let that Ambe us
NosAmtalgic for the good times like our dreams walked out on us
Like we Amwoke up in an empty bed here, and now, and stuck, oh Dmuh oh uh
I'll chase them down a-Amlone
[Verse 3]
AmDon't just watch me go, you fool
AmRun with me, keep up, keep Dmup, keep Amup
AmIt's not you I'm leaving
AmAre you listening?
I just can't take the Dmrut, the Amrut
[Verse 4]
AmI won't say I do, 'Amtil you promise me
That Dmthough we're gray, we can stay Amyoung, and wild, and free
AmYoung and wild and free
And if you Dmcan't, don't blame Amme
And if you Dmcan't, don't blame Amme
And if you Dmcan't, don't blame Amme
[Chorus]
AmSteady, steady,
You Amknow when you're ready
Dm/AIt's a long road walking into the sun
The Dm/Aheat can make you lose your head, your sense of direction
Oh Amsteady, steady,
AmWe weren't ready
