Am               C                   G              
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

D         Am       C                  G
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in

D   Am           C         G
And if you do not want to see me again

             C G D    Am           C G D
I would understand,   I would understand


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


Am                              D
Well, everyone I know has got a reason

C
To say 

Put the past away


Am             C                    G   
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

D         Am       C                 G
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in

D    Am           C       G
And if you do not want to see me again

             C G D     Am           C G D
I would understand,    I would understand


Am    
And well, he's on the table

And he's gone to code

C
And I do not think anyone knows
              
              G
What they are doing here


Am
And your friends have left you

You've been dismissed

C
I never thought it would come to this
       G
And I, I want you to know


Am                              
Everyone's got to face down the demons

C
Maybe today 

G
We can put the past away


Am               C                   G
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

D         Am       C                  G
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in 

D   Am            C       G   
And if you do not want to see me again
   
             C G D     Am           C G D     Am           C G D
I would understand,    I would understand,    I would understand



I would understand

I would understand

Understand



Can you put the past away?
