GSo your standing on a leDdge,
It looks like you might faEm7ll. So far down,
FOr maybe you were thinking about Gjumping.
Now you could have it aDll,
If you learned a little paEm7tience!
For though I cannot fFly,
I'm not content to craGwl!...
So give me a little crDedit,
Have in me a little faEm7ith!
I want to be with you foFrever,
If tomorrow's not too laGte!...
GBut it's alDways too late when you've got noEm7thing
So you Cadd9say!...  --3--------3-

G D

So your standing on a ledge,

Em7

It looks like you might fall. So far down,

F G

Or maybe you were thinking about jumping.

Now you could have it all,

Em7

If you learned a little patience!

For though I cannot fly,

I'm not content to crawl!...

So give me a little credit,

Em7

Have in me a little faith!

I want to be with you forever,

If tomorrow's not too late!...

G D Em7

But it's always too late when you've got nothing
