[F] [Am]

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

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