Transciption by Jeff Burke, additions, chords and corrections by me.

For the G, I use a mixture of barre and open. I don't bother with the Gsus2, and just play an open G. One transciption I've seen has an F#dim instead of F#, but to be honest that sounds like shit to me. I also don't bother with the Abm, and just play Ab.

|F               F#              |G        D     Am
You're not ready for the world outside.
|F               F#                      |G         D     Am
You keep pretending but you just can't hide.
|F          C                    |Am                     Bb
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
|Am     |Gsus2  G
But I...

|F                     F#                 |G     D     Am
You're path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
|F                 F#                    |G      D     Am
And you can meet it but you never will.
|F                C                         |Am       Bb
And I'm the reason that you're standing still.
|Am   |G
But I...

                      |F         G
I wish I could say the right words
   |Em                             F
To lead you through this land.
                     |Am       G
Wish I could play the father
      |C                       F
And take you by the hand.
                    |Eb   Bb
Wish I could stay here
     |Ab      Abm  Eb
But now I understand...
    |Cm                  |F
I'm standing in the way.

|F              F#                          |G         D     Am
The cries around you, you don't hear at all.
|F                        F#            |G           D     Am
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
|F               C                         |Am                       Bb
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall.
|Am     |G
But I...

                     |F           G
I wish I could lay your arms down
      |Em                 F
And let you rest at last.
                   |Am          G
Wish I could slay your demons
     |C                          F
But now that time has passed.
                    |Eb   Bb
Wish I could stay here,
        |Ab       Abm      Eb
Your stalwart standing fast.
           |Cm                |F
But I'm standing in the way.
            |Cm              |F  ||
I'm just standing in the way.
