Dm             F
Welcome to a trip
   C
Into my hurt feelings,
Dm            F      C
To the center of my soul.
    Dm             F
You better bring a light
    C
To find the house of meanings,
     Dm           F      C
The labyrinth of yes or no.

     Bm  D
For you life is just like chess
    F
If you don't make the move
        G
You'll lose the game like this.

Chorus:
       Am          F             G
Cause you, you're walking on t he edge
Am                   F              G
You, you choose the way of love and pain
Am    F                  G
You, don't you see the bridge
                Am                  F             G
I've built for you, it's just one step to start again

Welcome to a trip into my emotions
To the language of my heart
You're sailing on a river that becomes an ocean
Which you can only cross with love

For you, life is just like chess
If you don't make the move
You'll lose the game like this

Chorus:
'Cause you, you're walking on the edge
You, you choose the way of love and pain
You, don't you see the bridge I've built for you
It's just one step to start again

For you, life is just like chess
If you don't make the move
You'll lose the game like this

Chorus:
'Cause you, you're walking on the edge
You, you choose the way of love and pain
You, don't you see the bridge I've built for you
It's just one step to start again

Walking on the edge
Baby, you're walking on the edge

Chorus:
You're walking on the edge
You, you choose the way of love and pain
You, don't you see the bridge I've built for you
It's just one step to start again
You, you're walking on the edge
You, you choose the way of love and pain
You, don't you see the bridge I've built for you
It's just one step to start again

On the edge
On the edge
