Start Jamming...
In the middle of the night, I had a vision [A] that was bigger than life.
Standing
[F#m] on the edge of my bed, she said,
Come [A] on, don't be afraid.
Her tongue was like a shot.
[G#] [F#] I can recall.
Laser eyes, killer body, killer eyes.
She drew me a fire.
What's wrong was right.
[B] Watch her blink.
She's sitting there [F#] by a gun.
Couldn't walk, couldn't run.
Well, [G] she drew me [Em] a picture, and [A] it seemed so true.
[D] Standing on the edge and watching my life flash by.
[C] Standing on the edge, she's looking right through my [E] eyes.
[D] Love was rising right, right before my eyes.
What's the reason now [C] I'm standing on the edge?
Standing on the edge, standing on the edge, standing on the [F#] edge.
[F#m] Right here in my face, I [A] had a vision that was bigger than life.
[F#] Oh, Ponnie likes night time every night.
Ponnie likes candy every night.
All day, suck her like Ponnie might.
Swallow that thing, so she doesn't [B] bite.
I wink at her face.
I make her displease.
Just ask for love.
[F#] She just wants affection.
Soldiers and attention.
[G] Now I [Em] don't know [A] why you're doing this to [D] me.
Standing on the edge and watching my love flash by.
[C] Standing on the edge, she's looking right through my eyes.
[D] Love was rising right, right before my eyes.
And I wonder why, what's the reason [C] now I'm standing on the edge?
Standing on the edge, standing on the edge.
[B] When she told me in the critical sense,
She told me in the strictest of attempts,
She told me we were one far apart.
She told me, [A] told me.
[D] I don't know why I'm here to stay.
[G] Don't go away.
[D] Standing on the edge and watching my life flash by.
[C] Standing on the edge, you're looking right through [D] my eyes.
[Bm]
[A] [D] Standing on the edge, like glasses before my eyes.
[C] Standing on the edge and watching my world flash [D] by.
[Bm]
[A] [D] Love was rising right, right before my eyes.
And I wonder why, what's the reason now [G] I'm standing on the edge?
Standing on the edge, standing on the edge.
[D] Standing on the edge, [G] standing on the edge.
Standing on the, [A] [D] standing on the,
