Please Stand Up

	  		
Intro C – B - A – G – F – C 
 
verse 1 
 
A 
A song to bring back memories 
G 
Of who we were back then 
A 
A box of notes and letters 
G 
From a locked and loaded pen 
A 
A message sent through airwaves 
G 
To bring you back to me 
A 
So tighten up your headphones 
G 
And let my voice give you the lead 

Pre-Chorus 

C – G – F - G 
Tell me (Please tell me) 
G 
She may be (be listening) 
F                                       G 
To this song that screams (The song I scream) 


C                        
And if I call your name will you please stand up 
F 
Just drop everything, run straight to the front 
                        A                           G 
Run right out the door take a left to the spot 
                          F                                     G 
Where we used to watch the bright lights shine over west little rock 
C 
Baby will you please stand up 
                        B 
And I'll be waiting here where we grew up 
                        A                                       G 
Just gather all the notes, and the rings, and the pretty things 
                F                       G 
You're the one who got, the one who got away 


verse 2 

Words to help remember 
What we had and what we lost 
Time is telling secrets 
They're telling me the cost 
Of ignoring such perfection 
I do what I do best 
Like running from commitment 
And making such a mess 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus 

Bridge 

C 
I hope you hear this and it takes away your breath 
                G                                                       A 
Like the Polaroid we took, I wrote that I'd be yours forever 
                        F       G 
 (Well I'm still yours) 
C 
I wrote a thousand words devoted 'bout your love 
        G                                               A        
I loosened my grip on us but I'm still holding your hand  
        F               G 
(I'm holding on)
 
Final Chorus
 
D – G – B – A – G 
D – C# - B – A - G
 
And if I call your name will you please stand up 
Just drop everything, run straight to the front 
Do you still remember the way to our spot 
Where we used to watch the bright lights shine over west little rock 
Baby will you please stand up 
And I'll be waiting here where we grew up 
Just gather all the notes, and the rings, and the pretty things 
You're the one who got, the one who got away
