[Chorus]
C G D
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
C G D
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
C G D
And if you do not want to see me again
C G D
I will understand
C G D
I will understand
[Verse]
Em
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
G
I sing over a secret pain,
D
You know you don't belong.
Em
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud,
G D
You're the flash of light, on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A G \
Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say:
put the past away.
[Chorus]
C G D
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

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