You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground

by Mayday Parade

Biography:

Mayday Parade was born in 2005 when two popular Tallahassee bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment, decided to merge and form one group. Both bands had been friends for a long time but they each seemed to have different kind of holdups. They pooled their resources, booted out the undedicated members and decided to take the good from each band and move forward. Armed with a dynamic lead singer Derek Sanders of Defining Moment, Mayday Parade explodes with energy and personality.

C G D/F# Em
And honestly I have been begging for answers
D C
That you and only you can give to me
G D/F# Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
D C
And as I start to run I stop to breathe

And I was nearly scared to death
G D/F#
And I was nearly scared to death
Em
Why you left in paragraphs
D
Why you left in paragraphs
C
The words were nearly over us
G D/F#
The words were nearly over us
Em D
You stop and turn and grab your bags

G
And I'll be here by the ocean

Just waiting for proof that there's
C
sunsets and silhouette dreams
D/F# Em
All my sand castles fall
D/F# G
like the ashes of cigarettes
C D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours

Just to ask God the question
C
Is everyone here make-believe
D/F# Em
With a tear in His voice
D/F# G
He said Son that's the question
C
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me

C---D/F#

C
As hours move to minutes

And minutes take longer to break
C
I will be desperately awaiting

But my tongue won't fall apart
C
And we've been sitting here for hours

All alone and in the dark
C G D/F#
So let me think of to word it
Em D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'
C G D/F#
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
Em
I'm sure everything would find me
D
All that's left is just to sing

G
And I'll be here by the ocean

Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C
All my sand castles fall
D/F#
like the ashes of cigarettes
D Em D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours

Just to ask God the question
Em
Is everyone here make-believe
C
With a tear in His voice

He said Son that's the question
D
Does this deafening silence

mean nothing to no one but me

C G
And you'll sing to me sweet until then
C G
I may never sail Virginia again
C D
Alas this current moves slow for me
B/Eb Em C
this much you must know we'll meet again
C
And I'll I'll have you know I'm scared to death
C
Tell me once again that you
Em D/F#
will love me till the death
G
And should I die you swear
D C
that you will come for me
Em D/F#-G-D
As I fade away you reach out your arms
C
And please don't let me go
Em D/F# G D
And please don't let me go
C
And please don't let me go
Em D/F# G D
And please don't let me go

G
And I'll be here by the ocean

Just waiting for proof that there's
C
sunsets and silhouette dreams
D/F# Em
All my sand castles fall
D/F# G
like the ashes of cigarettes
C D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours

Just to ask God the question
C
Is everyone here make-believe
D/F# Em
With a tear in His voice
D/F# G
He said Son that's the question
C
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me
