G                                     C
These back steps are steeper to the ground
                                 G
The brightest stars are falling down
                                   C
I'm walking the edge, walking the tightest rope
G                         C
We can be frank, reality rips on through,
                     G
rolling like a hurricane
                                   D
I'm over the bridge and under the rain

                 Em7                       C
If everything's falling, if everything's changed
              Bm7                  D
If I'm in the open, if I'm in the way

Chorus:
                 G
What am I doing here
                    C
If you're not with me
                   Em7
What have I got to live for,
                      D
if it's just my own dream
                       G                     C
Take it back to the beginning, back to the start
               Em7
When gravity's pulling,
                         D
you're still holding my heart
                   G  C
You come crashing down
          G  C
Crashing down

These four walls are closing in on me
The talk is louder than I'll sing
I want to be there, want to be where you are
But you know it all, Every look
and smile that aren't meant to break
I'm over the bridge and under the rain

If everything's falling, if everything's changed
If I'm in the open, if I'm in the way

Chorus

And you say that everything is different,
why don't we just hold on
And you say that everything is different,
why don't we just hold on
