VERSE 1:
G D Cadd9
So you`re standing on the ledge, it looks like you might fall
F C G
So far down or maybe you were thinking about jumping
D Cadd9
But you could have it all, if you learned a little patience
F C G
For though I cannot fly, I`m not content to crawl
G D Cadd9
So give me a little credit, have in me a little faith
F C Cadd9
I wanna be with you forever if tomorrow`s not too late
D Cadd9 G
But it`s always too late when you`ve got nothing, so you say
Cadd9 D Cadd9
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises today
CHORUS:
G D Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
If I am, another waste of everything you dreamed of, I will let you down
G D Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
If I am only here to watch you as you suffer, I will let you down
INTERLUDE:
G-D-Cadd9-F-C-G
VERSE 2:(Same as verse 1... here`s the lyrics)
So you`re walkin on the edge, and you wait your turn to fall
But you`re so far gone that you don`t see the hands up held to catch you
And you could find the fault, in the heart that you`ve been handed
But though you cannot fly, you`re not content to crawl
And it`s always too late when you`ve got nothing, so you say
But you should never let the sun set on tonorrow, before the sun rises
CHORUS: Same as before
DURING SOLO:G-D-Cadd9 (2x)
After solo it goes like this:
G D Cadd9
So you`re standing on the ledge it looks like you might fall...
CHORUS: Same as last two times
These lyrics are played in the same rhythm pattern and with the same chords
as the chorus:
The answers we find were never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don`t talk in dreams, I won`t mention tomorrow,
We won`t make those promises that we can`t keep
I will never leave you, I will not let you down
I will never leave you, I will not let you down (end on Cadd9)
