 B                            F#           C#
She said let's change our luck this night is all
we've got
 B                       F#     C#
drive fast until we crash this dead end life
B                               F#             C#
Sweet dreams that won't come true I'd leave it all
for you
B                                F#      C#
brick walls are closing in let's make a run tonight
A#m D#m  B      C#     A#m       D#m
Blinded by the lights hold you through forever
 B            C#
won't let you go

Chorus:
             F#      C#        D#m
Cause if you jump I will jump too
         B             F#       C#         D#m
We will fall together from the building's ledge
       B               F#         C#        D#m
never looking back at what we've done we'll say
        B
it was love
     G#m               B            C#
Cause I would die for you on skyway avenue

She said don't change your mind
Let's leave this town behind
We'll race right off the cliff
They will remember this
It all got so mundane
With you I'm back again
Just take me by the hand
We're close to the edge

Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Won't let you go

Chorus

 D#m                     B           F#
where are your guts to fly soaring through,
             C#
through the night
         D#m                                B
and if you take that last step I'll follow you
          F#                       C#
leave the edge and fly we're finally alive

Chorus:
'Cause if you jump, I will jump too
We will fall together from the buildings ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue

So what's left to prove
We have made it through
