Verse: 

D                A                    Bm                          G 
    Late at night   it's kind of early   for making promises  
D              A                       Bm            G 
   But I'll try to keep them all  
D                       A                                   Bm                            G 
  So when it's hard   and when it's easier   And when it's adventurous  
D                A                       Bm          G 
   I just need   to know you know , You know  



Bm                             G 
  I was standing at the staircase  
D                 A                        Bm 
  Staring into space I thought I had it all  
                                 G 
  Just try to do it your way  
D                           A                          D        A       Bm       G 
   You'll make a lot of friends you'll make a lot of foes  


Verse 2:
 
D                A               Bm                       G 
   On your own it can be easier to do things for a while  
D                 A                                    Bm              G 
   But these traps don't catch their own  
D                  A                  Bm                    G                                D   
   So with all this distraction And with all of my empty words  
        A                             Bm         G 
I will give you all of my soldiers hearts  


 
Bm                             G 
   I was standing at the staircase  
D                 A                        Bm 
   Staring into space I thought I had it all  
                                  G 
   Just try to do it your way  
D                            A                          Bm         
   You'll make a lot of friends you'll make a lot of foes 
                           G         D                      A                   
   Standing at the staircase    Staring into space I thought I had it  



Bridge:
 
D                            G                                         D 
  So I climb a little higher   and I'll reach a little closer to you  
                         G               
I'll step a little higher  cause you said it's not over  


Bm                             G 
    I was standing at the staircase  
D                 A                        Bm 
   Staring into space I thought I had it all  
                                  G 
   Just try to do it your way  
D                            A                          Bm         
  You'll make a lot of friends you'll make a lot of foes  
                                               G         
   Now I'm standing at the staircase  
D                        A                          Bm 
  Staring into space   I thought I had it all  
                      G 
  Just try to do it your way  
D                            A                         D        A       Bm       G 
  I've made a lot of friends, I've made a lot of foes
