C      G/B        Am
I can feel the colour running
As it's fading from my face
Try to speak but nothing's coming
 C              G/B           F
Nothing I could say to make you stay

Grabbed your suitcase, called a taxi
It's 3 AM, now where you gonna go?
Gonna stay with friends in London
And that's all I get to know

        C
Just a cigarette gone
        G/B
No you couldn't' be that far
        Am
So I'm driving in my car
Where I hope you are
             C           G/B
Maybe I can talk you down
              Am
Maybe I can talk you down

Chorus:
        C
We're standing on a tiny ledge
   G/B
Before this goes over the edge
      Am
Gonna use my heart and not my head
                C           G/B
And try to open up your eyes
                      F
This is relationship suicide

        C
Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go

Taking shortcuts through the alleys
While you're racing through my mind
Cops can chase but they won't catch me
Not before I get to speak my mind
If there's still time

Just a cigarette gone
No, you couldn't' be that far
I'm driving my car to where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down

Chorus

Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go

We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head, oh
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head

Just a cigarette gone
No, you couldn't' be that far
I'm driving my car to where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down

Chorus

Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go
Cause if you go, I go
