lyrics

Am C Em Am
The chasm’s causing spasms and I’m standing at the edge
Am C Em Am
And I look down, can’t see the ground, this is everything I dread
Em Am
Did you hear a thing I said?

CHORUS
C D G
But it’s worth the fall, ‘cause after all, it is what we’re meant to do
C D G
It’s worth the fall, ‘cause after all, I would rather be with you
C D G
Than on my own, and all alone, pretending that I do not care
C D G
And it’s worth the fall, ‘cause after all, life’s more fun when you are there
C D G
Oh, safe and sound on solid ground is a boring way to be
C D Em
Yes, it’s worth the fall, and after all, I just want you next to me
Em C
I am stronger than I seem

Am C Em Am
The gap is gaping wider than the whole inside of me
Am C Em Am
And I am gasping louder than my longing to be free
Em Am
Forget psychology

CHORUS

Am Em G Am Am Em Am
All the ways this could go wrong could not fit in this simple song
G Em Am G Em Am
My fearful pride may take a blow if you should give a simple “no”
C D, G
But here we go

CHORUS (3x)
