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

Dm
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
F
I sing over a secret pain,
C
You know you don't belong.
Dm
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]
Dm G F \
Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say:
put the past away.
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Dm
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
Dm
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]
Dm G F
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today,
\
you can put the past away.
