[Chorus]
Fmaj7             C                   G
 I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
         Fmaj7              C                  G
You could     cut ties with all the lies that you've been livin' in
     Fmaj7      C               G
A-and if you do not want to see me again

              Fmaj7   C     G
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
              Fmaj7   C     G
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and

[Verse 1]
    Am
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
C
icing over a secret pain
G
  You know you don't belong
           Am
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud
           C
You're the flash of light, on a burial shroud
G
  I know something's wrong

[Pre-Chorus 1]
     Am                         Dsus2      C
When everyone I know has got a reason, to say
N.C.           Fmaj7
put the past away

[Chorus]
                  C                   G
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
         Fmaj7              C                   G
You could     cut ties with all the lies, that you've been livin' in
     Fmaj7      C               G
A-and if you do not want to see me again

              Fmaj7   C     G
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
              Fmaj7       C     G
I would under-sta-a-a---i-a---i-and

[Verse 2]
           Am
Well, he's on the table and he's gone ta code
      C                                   G
And I do not think anyone knows what they're

doing here-ere
         Am
And your friends have left you, you've been dismissed
C
I never thought it would come to this, and I
G
  I want you to know-o

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                               Dsus2           C
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today
        N.C.           Fmaj7
you can put the past away

[Chorus]
                  C                   G
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
         Fmaj7              C                   G
You could     cut ties with all the lies, that you've been livin' in
     Fmaj7      C               G
A-and if you do not want to see me again

              Fmaj7   C     G
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
              Fmaj7   C     G
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
             Fmaj7    C     G
I would under-sta---i-a---i-a-and
