{ capo na 4ª casa }
G D Em7
So your standing on a ledge, It looks like you might fall. So far down,
F G D
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping. Now you could have it all,
Em7 F
If you learned a little patience! For though I cannot fly,
G D
I'm not content to crawl!... So give me a little credit,
Em7 F
Have in me a little faith! I want to be with you forever,
G
If tomorrow's not too late!...
G D Em7 Cadd9
But it's always too late when you've got nothing... So you say!...
Cadd9 D Em7 Cadd9
But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, Before the sun rises today...
Chorus:
G D Em7 Cadd9
If I am! Another waste of everything you dreamed of, I will let you down...
G D Em7 Cadd9
If I am! Only here to watch as you suffer, I will let you down...
D Em7 Cadd9
Only here to watch as you suffer, I will let you down... èSolo 1
G D Em7
So your walking on the edge, And you wait your turn to fall. But you're so far gone,
F G D
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you. And you could find the fault,
Em7 F
In the heart that you've been handed! But though you cannot fly,
G
You're not content to crawl!...
G D Em7 Cadd9
In it's always too late when you've got nothing... So you say!...
Cadd9 D Em7 Cadd9
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, Before the sun rises...
G D Em7 Cadd9
If I am! Another waste of everything you hoped for, I will let you down...

If I am! Only here to watch you as you suffer, I will let you down... èSolo 2

If I am! Only here to watch as you suffer, I will let you down...
G D Em7 Cadd9
The answers we find, Are never what we had in mind.So we make it up as we go along...
G D Em7 Cadd9
I won't mention tomorrow. And we won't make those promises that we can't keep...
G D Em7 G D Em7 Cadd9
I will never leave you! I will never let you down!
G D Em7 G D Em7 Cadd9
I will never leave you! I will never let you down!
