VERSE 1:
Dsus2                                         Bb      G5*       Bb    C
Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
Dsus2
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
     Bb       G5*        Bb  C
But I'm here now waiting
Dsus2
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
     Bb      G5*          Bb   C
But closer than you think
                Dsus2
She said, "Just go on to what you

Pretend is your life but
Bb            G5*   Bb  C
Please don't die on me"


Refrain:
Bb               Dsus2
Wings won't take me
Bb                  Dsus2
Heights don't phase me
           Bb
So take a step
G5*
  But don't look down 
            Bb  C
Take a step


Chorus:
Dsus2        G5*            Bb
   Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Dsus2  G5*             Bb        
   I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
Dsus2    G5*             Bb             Dsus2 G5* Bb  C
   I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall


Verse 2:
Perpetual motion the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell


Refrain:
Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down 
Take a step


Chorus:
Dsus2        G5*            Bb
   Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Dsus2  G5*             Bb        
   I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
Dsus2    G5*             Bb             Dsus2 G5* Bb
   I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall



Coda:
C
 I count the times that I've been sorry
Bb
I know, I know
C
 Now my compassion slowly drowns
Bb
I know, I know
C
 If there's a time these walls could guard you
Bb
I know, I know
C
 Then let that time be right now
