C                     Em              F
Well I guess this is where I left my life
    Dm7
And all its operations
C                       Em              F
And I know that I will never get this twice
     Dm7
With all negotiations
Am                  E/G#               Em/G
This feels like the place between what is and
            F
might have been
C                   Em                 F
So I guess this is where we both find out
    Dm7
If this was meant to be

C               Em                  F
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
            Dm7
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
C                                Em
But I’ll finally show you how I should have
                    F
been being with you every day
           Dm7
If you can  take a little more

Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue
When you said you'd never get tired of the boy
That seemed to be so far from growing up
But we were different then
This feels like the place between being ready
and being in the way

Chorus

This feels like the time that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
'Cause I'll tell myself I'll make it through
I'll tell myself anything to get over you

And I won't blame you but
I'm finally ready to show you
That I'm ready to show you,
I'm ready to show you, yeah
I'll tell myself that
I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway
I need you
I need you now - x2
I'm ready now
