BmThe words you Gspoke, they wAarmed me, they fBmilled me
Bmbut now my Gears ring Apainfully Bmempty
BmOnce so cGertain of a Afuture everBmlasting
BmNow, in a Gpanic, on the Acliff's edge, and Bmteetering
BmButterflies, Gon a breeze, harAmonious and Bmflying
BmUsed to Gbe free, and fAloating on Bmcloud nine
BmNow frantic, Gcrashing, unAcertain, suffoBmcating
BmInside things Gchurning, feet Aslipping, balance Bmfailing
F#mSay we're fAorever
BmOr tell me it's over
F#mPush me Adown, or Bmpull me back in
F#mSimply sAave me fBmrom not knowing
GI just need to get oAff of the edge
BmYou say you Glove me, you Amiss me, you Bmwant me
Bmbut the wGords ring empty, seem Avoid of any Bmmeaning
BmIs this reaGl, or aAre my thoughts Bmpoisoning?
BmI have no aGnswers, I Aonly know I'm Bmsuffering

G A

[Verse]

Bm G A Bm

The words you spoke, they warmed me, they filled me

Bm G A Bm

but now my ears ring painfully empty

Bm G A Bm

Once so certain of a future everlasting

Bm G A Bm

Now, in a panic, on the cliff's edge, and teetering

Bm G A Bm

Butterflies, on a breeze, harmonious and flying

Bm G A Bm

Used to be free, and floating on cloud nine

Bm G A Bm

Now frantic, crashing, uncertain, suffocating

Bm G A Bm

Inside things churning, feet slipping, balance failing

F#m A

Say we're forever

Or tell me it's over

F#m A Bm

Push me down, or pull me back in

F#m A Bm

Simply save me from not knowing

G A

I just need to get off of the edge

Bm G A Bm

You say you love me, you miss me, you want me

Bm G A Bm

but the words ring empty, seem void of any meaning

Bm G A Bm

Is this real, or are my thoughts poisoning?

Bm G A Bm

I have no answers, I only know I'm suffering

F#m A

Say we're forever

Or tell me it's over

F#m A Bm

Push me down, or pull me back in

F#m A Bm

Please just save me from not knowing

G A

I just need to get off of this edge
