C
There is no great thing, to stop and sing
Waiting for the rain
And this perfect pill, it's all too much
C             F Am G             F Am G C
On the edge again,  don't look away
C
Couldn't help but note the coldest thing
In your precious face
Why do you always speak when you have no grace
In your precious face

Chorus:
F        Am              G
But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
F             Am                    G
But these hot gates you spent your victory on
though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
F            Am        G
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
F                    Am                  G
But I will love you constantly There's precious little else to me
     Am         G            C       Am G C
And though we cry, we must stay alive

Another fragile edge, and a tender sound
And then you went aground
Near a duller blade, a promise out of sight
There's nothing here for you tonight

Chorus

     Am         G            C
And though we cry, we must stay alive
         Am        G               C
Let my blood only run out when my world decides
          Am     G          C
There is no way out of your only life
       Am      G
So run on, run on
