[F] [Am]
[Gm] [C]
[F]
[C]
[F]
When you're standing at the edge of [Gm] the world
[C]
Every move is carefully [F] planned
All it takes is one [C] step.
That's [Gm] unsure
[C] To find your solid [Cm] ground
[F] Turn to sand.
[Dm]
I remember [F] trying not to breathe
[Bb] Not to speak
[Dm] Or make the [C]
slightest sound
As if [F] I couldn't join [Am] this [Gm] life to freeze
[C]
Perhaps I could make it [F] turn around
Going back to who we [Gm] used to be
[C] There was no such thing as
[F]
retreat
It was if my eyes had found new [Gm] ways to see
[Bb] As [C] if my heart had learned new [F]
ways to beat
I'd
[Bb] never felt that way before [F] or since
[Dm] What I'd give to have it [C] back again
When [F] time can't be [Am] persuaded [Dm] or convinced
[C]
Hope it's just a thought that we [F] tend

[F]
So now I'm standing [Am] at the edge [Gm] of the world
[Cm]
Trying to decide which [F] way to go
[C] Am [F] I brave if [C] I suddenly [Gm] step forward?
[Dm] [C] Or a coward [F] if [C] I hear myself
[F] Say no
[Bb]
Guess it's never been up [F] to me
[Dm] Though fate has fooled me time and [C]
time before
[F]
Like thinking I could [Am] really watch [Dm] you leave
[Bb]
[C] Without the need to run or [F]
bar the door
