You, there on the bridge
        C majorC         B7B7
Where have you been, what's your name?
  G+G         B7B7
And you, there on the wall

Where will you go to, once you fall?

Verse 2:

 G+G        B7B7         C majorC
A augmentedA long, long time ago, I fell to this place

From another dimension
  G+G         B7B7
And thrust amongst the beasts
         C majorC           B7B7
And the way they behave, it borders on dementia
G+G           B7B7
Now through all these years
       C majorC
I can barely take it
          B7B7
I don't think I can make it
G+G         B7B7
Take me away from here

I'm so sick and tired of

                   B7B7
As you stand here at the edge of your life
      C majorC
What do you remember?
    B7B7
Was it all you wanted?
G+G                  B7B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

Your troubles are over

Mine are just beginning

It's me you leave behind

C majorC      D MajorD         C majorC
Oh, if only I could have been there
     D MajorD       C majorC
I'd be a hand for the sinking
    D MajorD         C majorC
If only I could have been there
     D MajorD       C majorC
I'd be a prayer for the dying

See the pain etched in my face,

Oh, I'm so sick and tired of
