G B7 C B7
[Verse 1]
GYou, there on the B7bridge
Where have you Cbeen, what's your B7name?
And Gyou, there on the B7wall
Where will you Cgo to, once you fB7all?
GYou, lost at B7sea
Do you need Cme, do you need B7directions?
GHey, put down the B7gun
What are you Cthinking?
You were B7someone's Cson
[Chorus]
The Gtaste of tears
The B7sting of pain
The Csmell of fear
The B7sounds of crying, Goh
B7 C B7
[Verse 2]
A Glong, long time B7ago, I fell to this Cplace
From another B7dimension
And Gthrust amongst the B7beasts
And the way they Cbehave, it borders on dB7ementia
GNow through all these B7years
I can barely Ctake it
I don't think I can B7make it
GTake me away from B7here
I want to go Chome
I'm so B7sick and tired of
[Chorus]
The Gtaste of tears
The B7sting of pain
The Csmell of fear
The B7sounds of crying, Goh
As you stand here at the edge of your B7life
What do you Cremember?
Was it B7all you wanted?
GI'm trying to earn a set of feathery B7wings
I wish I could Cprotect you here
Oh, B7please don't cry, now 
GSmile as you stand here at the edge of your B7life
Your troubles are Cover
Mine are just B7beginning
GI'm trying to earn a set of feathery B7wings
To take me Caway from here
It's B7me you leave behindG  
B7 C B7
[Bridge]
COh, if only DI could have been Cthere
I'd be a Dhand for the sCinking
If only DI could have been Cthere
I'd be a Dprayer for the Cdying
See the Dpain etched in my Cface,
Oh, I'm so B7sick and tired of
[Chorus]
The Gtaste of tears
The B7sting of pain
The Csmell of fear
The B7sounds of crying, Goh
As you stand here at the edge of your B7life
What do you Cremember?
Was it B7all you wanted?
GI'm trying to earn a set of feathery B7wings
I wish I could Cprotect you here
Oh, B7please don't cry, now, 
GSmile as you stand here at the edge of your B7life
Your troubles are Cover
Mine are just B7beginning
GI'm trying to earn a set of feathery B7wings
To take me Caway from here
It's B7me you leave 
[Bridge]
You're Ggone from here
Don't B7leave from here
Don't Cleave me here
I B7hate it here
You're Ggone from here
Don't B7leave me here
I need you Chere
I B7need to see you Gsmile

[Intro]

G B7 C B7

[Verse 1]

G B7

You, there on the bridge

C B7

Where have you been, what's your name?

G B7

And you, there on the wall

C B7

Where will you go to, once you fall?

G B7

You, lost at sea

C B7

Do you need me, do you need directions?

G B7

Hey, put down the gun

What are you thinking?

B7 C

You were someone's son

[Chorus]

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

B7 G

The sounds of crying, oh

B7 C B7

[Verse 2]

G B7 C

A long, long time ago, I fell to this place

From another dimension

G B7

And thrust amongst the beasts

C B7

And the way they behave, it borders on dementia

G B7

Now through all these years

I can barely take it

I don't think I can make it

G B7

Take me away from here

I want to go home

I'm so sick and tired of

[Chorus]

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

B7 G

The sounds of crying, oh

As you stand here at the edge of your life

What do you remember?

Was it all you wanted?

G B7

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

I wish I could protect you here

Oh, please don't cry, now

G B7

Smile as you stand here at the edge of your life

Your troubles are over

Mine are just beginning

G B7

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

To take me away from here

B7 G

It's me you leave behind

B7 C B7

[Bridge]

C D C

Oh, if only I could have been there

D C

I'd be a hand for the sinking

D C

If only I could have been there

D C

I'd be a prayer for the dying

D C

See the pain etched in my face,

Oh, I'm so sick and tired of

[Chorus]

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

B7 G

The sounds of crying, oh

As you stand here at the edge of your life

What do you remember?

Was it all you wanted?

G B7

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

I wish I could protect you here

Oh, please don't cry, now,

G B7

Smile as you stand here at the edge of your life

Your troubles are over

Mine are just beginning

G B7

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

To take me away from here

It's me you leave

[Bridge]

You're gone from here

Don't leave from here

Don't leave me here

I hate it here

You're gone from here

Don't leave me here

I need you here

B7 G

I need to see you smile

[Outro]
