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

I will understand
A E B
I will understand
[Verse]
C#m
Well he's on the table and he's gone to code,
E B
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
C#m
And your friends have left, you've been dismissed,
E
I never thought it would come to this,
B
And I, I want you to know
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m F# E
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today,
\
you can put the past away.
[Chorus]
A E B
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
A E B
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in,
