Verse 1:
BM7
  So your standing on a ledge
It looks like you
      G#m
might fall So far down
   A
Or maybe you were
         B
thinking about jumping
                      BM7
Now you could have it all
                        G#m
If you learned a little patience
                    A
For though I cannot fly
           B
I'm not content to crawl
                    BM7
So give me a little credit
                    G#m
Have in me a little faith
                         A
I want to be with you forever
              E
If tomorrow's not too late
         F#
But it's always too late
                G#m
when you've got nothing
       B
So you say
F#
  But you should never let
                 C#m
the sun set on tomorrow
  E(hold)
Before the sun rises today

Verse 2:
F#
  So your walking on the edge
                          G#m
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
     A
That you don't see the
        B
hands upheld to catch you
                       F#
And you could find the fault
In the heart that
            G#m
you've been handed!
                      A
But though you cannot fly
              E
You're not content to crawl
         F#
And it's always too late
                G#m
when you've got nothing
       B
So you say!
F#
  But you should never
                     C#m
let the sun set on tomorrow
  E
Before the sun rises


(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2:

The answers we find

that we can't keep
