G B7 C B7
[Verse 1]
G B7
You, there on the bridge
C B7
Where have you been, what's your name?
G B7
And you, there on the wall
C B7
Where will you go to, once you fall?
G B7
You, lost at sea
C B7
Do you need me, do you need directions?
G B7
Hey, put down the gun
C
What are you thinking?
B7 C
You were someone's son
[Chorus]
G
The taste of tears
B7
The sting of pain
C
The smell of fear
B7 G
The sounds of crying, oh
B7 C B7
[Verse 2]
G B7 C
A long, long time ago, I fell to this place
B7
From another dimension
G B7
And thrust amongst the beasts
C B7
And the way they behave, it borders on dementia
G B7
Now through all these years
C
I can barely take it
B7
I don't think I can make it
G B7
Take me away from here
C
I want to go home
B7
I'm so sick and tired of
[Chorus]
G
The taste of tears
B7
The sting of pain
C
The smell of fear
B7 G
The sounds of crying, oh
B7
As you stand here at the edge of your life
C
What do you remember?
B7
Was it all you wanted?
G B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings
C
I wish I could protect you here
B7
Oh, please don't cry, now
G B7
Smile as you stand here at the edge of your life
C
Your troubles are over
B7
Mine are just beginning
G B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings
C
To take me away from here
B7 G
It's me you leave behind
B7 C B7
[Bridge]
C D C
Oh, if only I could have been there
D C
I'd be a hand for the sinking
D C
If only I could have been there
D C
I'd be a prayer for the dying
D C
See the pain etched in my face,
B7
Oh, I'm so sick and tired of
[Chorus]
G
The taste of tears
B7
The sting of pain
C
The smell of fear
B7 G
The sounds of crying, oh
B7
As you stand here at the edge of your life
C
What do you remember?
B7
Was it all you wanted?
G B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings
C
I wish I could protect you here
B7
Oh, please don't cry, now,
G B7
Smile as you stand here at the edge of your life
C
Your troubles are over
B7
Mine are just beginning
G B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings
C
To take me away from here
B7
It's me you leave
[Bridge]
G
You're gone from here
B7
Don't leave from here
C
Don't leave me here
B7
I hate it here
G
You're gone from here
B7
Don't leave me here
C
I need you here
B7 G
I need to see you smile
