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