[Chorus]
E B F#
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
E B F#
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
E B F#
And if you do not want to see me again
E B F#
I will understand
E B F#
I will understand
[Verse]
G#m
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
B
I sing over a secret pain,
F#
You know you don't belong.
G#m
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud,
B F#
You're the flash of light, on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m C# B \
Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say:
put the past away.
[Chorus]
E B F#
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
E B F#
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
E B F#
And if you do not want to see me again
E B F#
I will understand
E B F#
I will understand
[Verse]
G#m
Well he's on the table and he's gone to code,
B F#
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
G#m
And your friends have left, you've been dismissed,
B
I never thought it would come to this,
F#
And I, I want you to know
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m C# B
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today,
\
you can put the past away.
[Chorus]
E B F#
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
E B F#
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
E B F#
And if you do not want to see me again
