Standing Tab

by Vnv Nation


Super easy stuff, but it sounds very pretty on acoustic. Enjoy!


               
Eyes betray the soul
             
And bear its thinking
                                        
Beyond words, they say so many things to me

                         
A stranger here, reborn it seems
        
Awaking wonders deep in me
                                  
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained
          
So I must seize the day

[chorus 1]
                           
And fighting time, so hard I pray
            
That this moment lasts forever
                                
And will the world stay standing still
             
At least for me
                          
Through my eyes, stare into me
          
I bare my heart for all to see
                          
With my face turned to the sun
           
There ever standing still

                      
It wasn't you, it wasn't me
           
It wasn't anything
                      
It was a day so long awaited
      
And a chance to be as me

                             
I let the wind run through my hands
         
Before I turned to walk away
                                         
In distant days, I long to sense it all so clear

[chorus 2]
                            
And fighting time, so much I ask
             
I will this moment last forever
                                        
Though seasons change, things come to pass
          
Remain inside of me

                           
I had no faith, before that time
       
In any vow or deed
                                   
Days followed days, and years were meaningless
                      
Despite the wisdom of defeat
           
I bore my heart for all to see
             
The wonders I had seen
            
The wonders I had seen

[repeat chorus 1 and 2]
