On a ledge

 

1

AM                         EM                                           G           D

Oh my hearts on fire, sometimes were walking such a thin little wire

AM                                                               EM                              G       D

Between what we want and what we have to do, but still my heart cries out to you

AM                                                 EM            AM                  EM

One part says run, run while you still can, better run, run like the wind

AM                                                      EM                       G                D

My feet won't go they feel heavy and light, I'm in the air but I can't take to flight

AM                                                       EM                        G                                  D

Love can pin you in the strangest of ways, float you in the air, choke you on the breeze

 

chorus

                EM  G  D                        AM           EM        G           D                                    AM

You better run,run, run while you still can, better run, run, run, run, run, you better run like the wind

                EM  G   D                                   AM

You better run, run, run, while your still a free man

 

2

AM                                          EM                G               D

Half the time caught on a ledge, afraid to jump, toes of the edge

AM                                                        EM                                       G                D

Ahh but life has that strange little way of repeating those things that you don't want to face

 

chorus
