Intro,
 
Em  C      G 
Fade in, start the scene 
D                C 
Enter beautiful girl 
Em  C                        G 
But things are not what they seem 
D                  C       Em 
As we stand at the edge of the world

verse 1 
Em      Am    Em 
"Excuse me, sir 
         G 
But I have plans to die tonight 
        D                   G     D 
Oh, and you are directly in my way 
     C                         G        C 
And I bet you're gonna say it's not right" 
G Em  
My reply: 

"Excuse me, miss 
           G 
But do you have the slightest clue 
   D 
Of exactly what you just said to me 
    C        G 
And exactly who you're talking to?" 
                                        D 
She said, "I don't care, you don't even know me" 
           G          D          G                 D        C 
I said, "I know but I'd like to change that soon, hopefully"

Em     C        G           D          C 
Yeah, we all flirt with the tiniest notion 
Em  C    G             D               C 
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion 
Em          C                     G                D       G 
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it 
Em         C   G          D          C 
No matter how unbearable this misery gets

verse 2 
Em            Am   Em  G 
"You make it sound so easy to be alive 
         D 
But tell me, how am I supposed to seize this day 
      C                       G 
When everything inside of me has died?" 
         Em 
My reply: 
Em         Am  Em 
"Trust me, girl 
             G 
I know your legs are pleading to leap 
       D 
But I offer you this easy choice 
    G              C 
Instead of dying, living with me" 
            G       D     G              D 
She said, "Are you crazy? You don't even know me." 
          G           D           G                D      C 
I said, "I know, but I'd like to change that soon hopefully"

Bridge 
Em                     C 
I would be lying if I said that things would never get rough 
G                        D                C         Em 
And all this cliche motivation, it could never be enough 
Em       D              C                        G 
I could stand here all night trying to convince you 

But what good would that do? 
  D                  C 
My offer stands, and you must choose

"Alright, you win, but I only give you one night 
   Em         D         G             D 
To prove yourself to be better than my attempt at flight 
G                     D 
I swear to God, if you hurt me, I will leap 
       Em    D         G 
I will toss myself from these very cliffs 
D                              G 
And you'll never see it coming" 
G             D       G                D     
"Settle, precious, I know what you're going through 
        G          D        G                D             C 
Just ten minutes before you got here, I was gonna jump too"
