Mayday Parade

You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground

by Mayday Parade
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.

Verse 1:
C9 G D Em
And honestly, I have been begging for answers
D C9
That you and only you can give to me
G D Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
D C9
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
G D
And I was nearly scared to death
Em
(Why you left in paragraphs)
D
Why you left in paragraphs
C9
(The words were nearly over us)
G D
The words were nearly over us
Em D
You stop and turn and grab your bags


Chorus
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C9
All my sand castles fall
G D
like the ashes of cigarettes
Em D
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?"
C9
With a tear in His voice
G D
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Em
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me?


Interlude: C9---D/F#


Verse 2:
Em C9
As hours move to minutes
G D
And minutes take longer to break
Em
I will be desperately awaiting
C9
But my tongue won't fall apart
G
And we've been sitting here for hours
D
All alone and in the dark
C9 G D
So let me think of to word it
Em D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
C9 G D
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


Chorus
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C9
All my sand castles fall
G D
like the ashes of cigarettes
Em D
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?"
C9
With a tear in His voice
G D
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Em
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me?


Bridge:
C9 G
And you'll sing to me sweet until then
C9 G
I may never sail Virginia again
C9 G
Alas this current moves slow for me
D Em C9
this much you must know...we'll meet again
C9
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death
C9
Tell me once again that you
G D
will love me till the death
Em
And should I die, you swear
D C9
that you will come for me
C9 G D-Em-D
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
C9
(And please don't let me go)
G D Em D
And please don't let me go
C9
(And please don't let me go)
G D Em D
And please don't let me go


Chorus
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C9
All my sand castles fall
G D
like the ashes of cigarettes
Em D
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?"
C9
With a tear in His voice
G D
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Em
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me?
