Bridge 
    Em                               D 
 My legs want to move but don't know how 
        Em 
 With a heavy head 
                D 
 I feel weighed down 
         Em                               D 
 Then my hearts starts racing through the crowd 
   Em 
 I heard you voice 
                D 
 It was calling out and you said 

 And you said 
 Am                       D 
 Why are you sitting down when everybody's moving around 
 Am                       D 
 Why are you sitting down when everybody's moving around

 If I'm not living then I'm losing, losing 
     C        G            Am
