Dm Em
We are partners, we are a team
Dm C
Together we'll have everything we dream
Dm
If we combine our efforts
G
there's nothing we can't do
Dm G
You'll support me, but first I'll support you
Dm Em
For now we'll go after the things that you need
Dm G
A single objective to help you succeed
Dm
Because I'm as important to you
Am
as you are to me
Dm G
I'll get what I need eventually
[Chorus]
Dm C Am
But you go first
F
And I'll take the rest
Dm C Am G
And it will all work out for the best
[Verse 2]
Dm Em
I have patience because I understand you
Dm C
And can wait to do all of the things that I planned to
Dm G
But what is that elusive thing you'll earn
Dm G
That makes you finally realize it's my turn
Dm Em
Am I fooling myself that we're really united
Dm G
The love is there but the respect unrequited
Dm
I am your anchor
Am
do I just hold you in place
Dm G
The eye of your storm, am I just empty space
[Chorus]
Dm C Am
But you go first
F
And I'll take the rest
Dm C Am G
And it will all work out for the best
[Bridge]
Dm Em
You know an object at rest stays at rest
G Am
You can't have inertia with things unexpressed
Dm
By the time I knew politeness
F
Was the opposite of brilliance
G
I'd spent my resources
E7
And lost my resilience
D F
Without me you pick up where you left off
D G
Without you I'm back where I started
[Chorus]
Dm C Am
But you go first
F
And I'll take the rest
Dm C Am G
And it will all work out for the best
[Verse 3]
Dm F
I know you didn't consciously deceive
Dm F
And neither did I when I chose to believe
G
But now I am stuck in a place I can't leave
F
While I watch you achieve and
G
achieve and achieve
Dm Em
I guess maybe I knew how much you would cost
Dm C
That when I said yes that I'd already lost
Dm
But now I'm so tired and
G
not sure how to pursue it
Dm G
And I don't have a partner like me
C
to help me do it
