D A E
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
D A E
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
D A E
And if you do not want to see me again
D A E
I will understand
D A E
I will understand

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

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