Playing Cadd9 as 032033
BmI'm sitting on a ciF#mtadel
BmContemplating life
Making a poF#mint to waste my time
I'm walking on cDlouds of wAhite
What if I faDll?
What if I doAn't?
What if I nGever make it Cadd9home?
What if I bDleed?
What if I brAeak?
And I fGind that I can't tCadd9ake
The cBmity below the Citadel
Holding mAy own hand?
And I'm breaking on the balcony
Breaking window panes
Killing the pain of broken hearts
I'm walking on clouds
Walking on stars
What if I fall?
What if I don't?
What if I never make it home?
What if I bleed?
What if I break?
And I find that I can't take
The city below the Citadel
Holding my own hand?
I'm holGding on to something
It's keeDping me from jumping
I'm Gso afraid to do it aDloneA  
And hoGlding up this fortress
WitDh imaginary forces
LonCadd9ging for a life down bGelow
What if I fall?
What if I don't?
What if I never make it home?
What if I bleed?
What if I break?
And I find that I can't take
The city below the Citadel
Holding my own hand? 
Thanks to A_Spears for the original tabs, which I tweaked a little for my own preference

Bm F#m

I'm sitting on a citadel

Contemplating life

F#m

Making a point to waste my time

D A

I'm walking on clouds of white

What if I fall?

What if I don't?

G Cadd9

What if I never make it home?

What if I bleed?

What if I break?

G Cadd9

And I find that I can't take

The city below the Citadel

Holding my own hand?

And I'm breaking on the balcony

Breaking window panes

Killing the pain of broken hearts

I'm walking on clouds

Walking on stars

What if I fall?

What if I don't?

What if I never make it home?

What if I bleed?

What if I break?

And I find that I can't take

The city below the Citadel

Holding my own hand?

I'm holding on to something

It's keeping me from jumping

G D A

I'm so afraid to do it alone

And holding up this fortress

With imaginary forces

Cadd9 G

Longing for a life down below

What if I fall?

What if I don't?

What if I never make it home?

What if I bleed?

What if I break?

And I find that I can't take

The city below the Citadel

Holding my own hand?

Thanks to A_Spears for the original tabs, which I tweaked a little for my own preference
