Lyrics

I (F)wan dered through (G)fic tion to look for the truth

(F)bur ied be neath all the lies.

And I (F)stood at a dis tance to feel who you are,

(F)hid in’ my (G)self in your eyes.

And (Fsus2)hold

(Gsus)on be (Am7)fore it’s too (Fsus2)late.

We’ll run ’til we (Gsus)leave this be hind.

(Fsus2)Don’t

(Gsus)fall, just (Am7)be who you (Fsus2)are, it’s all that we (Gsus)need in our lives.

Now, the (F)risk that might (G)break you’s the one that would (G)save.

A (F)life you don’t (G)live is still (Fsus2)lost.

So (F)stand on the edge with me.

(Am7)Hold back your fear and see (F)noth in’ is (G)real ’til it’s gone.

And lives.

So (Am7)live like you (C5)mean it and (Gsus)love ’til you (Fsus2)feel it.

It’s (Am7)all that we (C5)need in our lives.

So (Am7)stand on the (C5)edge with me.

(Gsus)Hold back your (Fsus2)fear and see (Am7)noth ing is (Gsus)real ’til it’s gone.

And (Fsus2)hold

(Gsus)on be (Am7)fore it’s too (Fsus2)late.

We’ll run ’til we (Gsus)leave this be hind.

(Fsus2)Don’t

(Gsus)fall, just (Am7)be who you (Fsus2)are, it’s all that we (Gsus)need in our lives.

And (Fsus2)hold

(Gsus)on be (Am7)fore it’s too (Fsus2)late.

We’ll run ’til we (Gsus)leave this be hind.
