Chorus
------


                       
  So your standing on a ledge
                        
It looks like you might fall

So far down
                          Dadd4add9
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping
                       
  Now you could have it all 
                         
If you learned a little patience
                     
For though I cannot fly 
            Dadd4add9
I'm not content to crawl 
	               
  So give me a little credit
                                            
Have in me a little faith 
                       
I want to be with you forever
               Dadd4add9
If tommorow's not too late
                                         
  But it's always too late when you've got nothing 
       
So you say     (hammer on 0->2 on Astring  0h2)
                                        
  But you should never let the sun set on tommorow
  Cadd9 <---strum once and let ring
Before the sun rises today
    
If I am 
                             
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
              
I will let you down
    
If I am 
                  
Only here to watch as you suffer
              
I will let you down

(Instrumental Go through Verse chords)
----Dadd4add9

                        
  So your walking on the edge
                          
And you wait your turn to fall
                   
But you're so far gone
                              Dadd4add9
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
                                   
  And you could find the fault
                              
In the heart that you've been handed
                      
For though you cannot fly
               Dadd4add9
You're not content to crawl 
                                       
But it's always too late when you've got nothing 
       
So you say
                                      
But you should never let the sun set on tommorow

Before the sun rises today
    
If I am 
                             
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
              
I will let you down
    
If I am 
                  
Only here to watch as you suffer
              
I will let you down

So you're standing on a ledge
                          
It looks like you might fall
    
If I am 
                             
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
              
I will let you down
    
If I am 
                  
Only here to watch as you suffer
              
I will let you down
              
The answers we find 
                 
Are never what we had in mind
                      
So we make it up as we go along
                 
You don't talk of dreams
                
I won't mention tommorow 
                                  
And we won't make those promises that we can't keep
                        
     I will never leave you
              
     I will never let you down
                        
     I will never leave you
              
     I will never let you down
