Intro D Dbm D Db
D
I'm holding on for my dear life to the railing on the roof,
F#m
and the ground below me looks up and says "What are you gonna do?'
G
"Are you gonna throw it all away?
Gonna end it all
D A
Or not?"
D
And I'm waiting for the phone to ring, to hear your voice again.
Dbm
Cause you're the only one who can save me from this dark and lonely end.
Em G
But its getting colder by the second, surrounded by
D
these forget-me-nots.
A
And second thoughts.
D
And I want them to stop.
Dbm
Please, stop.
D
Stop.
F#m
Please, stop.
D
Well, the ground is looking softer every second that I wait.
Dbm
And the rain is stinging on my skin as tears fall down my face.
Bm
And I hold your picture in my hand,
D A
So you'll be with me when I go.
D
And I recall the moments that lead me to this.
All of my mistakes.
F#m
I say goodbye to all my memories,
And lies to my face.
Bm
Cause I was hurting on the inside,
D
So I hurt myself on the outside, too.
A
But then came you.
D
And you begged me to stop.
Db
Please, stop.
D
Stop.
F#m
Please, stop.
Bm
And I walk up to the edge,
And I kiss your picture goodbye.
D
And I turn around to lean back and I see you
A D
With your hands out screaming "Stop!"
F#m
Please, stop!
D
Stop!
Dbm
Please, stop!
(Slower and softer)
D
But you were just a little too late.
I touched your fingers on my way down.
F#m
Falling faster than I fell for you.
D
And when I look up,
I see you looking down on me.
D
You're screaming, crying, begging, pleading,
A
weeping.
D
That's when everything stopped.
F#m
Stopped.
D
Stop.
F#m
Stop.
F# D
