[Chorus]
F C G
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
F C G
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
F C G
And if you do not want to see me again
F C G
I will understand
F C G
I will understand
[Verse]
Am
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
C
I sing over a secret pain,
G
You know you don't belong.
Am
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud,
C G
You're the flash of light, on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D C \
Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say:
put the past away.
[Chorus]
F C G

I will understand
[Verse]
Am
Well he's on the table and he's gone to code,
C G
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
Am
And your friends have left, you've been dismissed,
C
I never thought it would come to this,
G
And I, I want you to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D C
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today,
\
you can put the past away.
[Chorus]
