[Chorus]
D# A# F
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I will understand
D# A# F
I will understand

The angry boy, a bit too insane,
A#
I sing over a secret pain,
F
You know you don't belong.
Gm
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud,
A# F
You're the flash of light, on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C A# \
Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say:
put the past away.
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Gm
Well he's on the table and he's gone to code,
A# F
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
Gm
And your friends have left, you've been dismissed,
A#
I never thought it would come to this,
F
And I, I want you to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C A#
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today,
\
you can put the past away.
[Chorus]
