[Verse]
CThere is no great thing, to stop and sing
CWaiting for the rain
CAnd this perfect pill, it's all too much
C F - Am - G SLIDE BETWEEN CHORDS F - Am - G - G - C
On the edge again, don't look away
CCouldn't help but note the coldest thing
CIn your precious face
CWhy do you always speak when you have no grace
CIn your precious face
[Chorus]
FBut even Amin the dark I Gsaw you were the only one alone
FBut these hot Amgates you spit your vGitriol though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
FAnd I can't be Amfor you all Gof the things you want me to
FBut I will love you Amconstantly There's Gprecious little else to me
And Amthough we Gcry, we must Cstay alive Am
[Verse]

G-
CCAnother fragile edge, and a tender sound
CAnd then you went aground
CNear a duller blade, a promise out of sight
CThere's nothing here for you tonight
[Chorus]
FBut even Amin the dark I Gsaw you were the only one alone
FBut these hot Amgates you spit your vGitriol though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
FAnd I can't be Amfor you all Gof the things you want me to
FBut I will love you Amconstantly There's Gprecious little else to me
And Amthough we Gcry, we must Cstay alive
[Bridge]
And Amthough we Gcry, we must Cstay alive
Let my bAmlood only Grun out when my Cworld decides
There is Amno way Gout of your Conly life
So run Amon, run oGn
