TUNING: Standard 

G - Em - C (2x) 

           G
Id rather stand on the edge of a cliff 
    Em
And hang my toes over a bit, 
         C
And then jump when they dare me, 
D                          G
Even if it scares me and I get hurt. 
           G
Id rather build my wings on the way down, 
      Em
Do my best not to fall to the ground 
         C
and then laugh at my mistakes 
     D                        G
cause theyre only lessons Ill learn 


Chorus: 
           C                D
Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul, 
    G                      Em
And love like a fire thats out of control, 
    C                   D 
and laugh and dance and fall 
               G    D 
and chance and kiss  
           C
Id rather live my whole life 
       D
with a sense of abandon, 
G
Squeeze every drop out, 
   Em
no matter what happens. 
    C                   D
And not wonder what Ive missed 
           Em  D/F# G
Id rather             risk. 


       G
Well I guess I could just play it safe 
    Em           D              C     G
and forget about love, hope and faith, 
          C 
with my eye on the shore line, 
D                        G
keeping my boat tied and staying home, 
             G
ohhh but Ill never discover new land 
   Em
by keeping my feet on the sand 
      C
No Id rather set sail 
        D                   G
and get carried away by the storm. 


Chorus: 
           C                D
Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul, 
    G                      Em
And love like a fire thats out of control, 
    C                   D 
and laugh and dance and fall 
               G    D 
and chance and kiss  
           C
Id rather live my whole life 
       D
with a sense of abandon, 
G
Squeeze every drop out, 
   Em
no matter what happens. 
    C                   D
And not wonder what Ive missed 
           Em  D/F# G        Em  D/F# G
Id rather             risk. 
                     Em  D/F# G 
I would rather risk  



           C                D
Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul, 
    G                      Em
And love like a fire thats out of control,

Id live my whole life 
       D
with a sense of abandon, 
G
Squeeze every drop out, 
   Em
no matter what happens. 
    C                   D  
And not wonder what Ive missed 
Em   D/F#      G  
Oh I just cant resist, 
    D         G
The chance to risk 


     G         D        C         D         Em       C          D
Ohhh live, and love and laugh and dance and fall and chance and kiss

Id rather risk  Em  D/F#  G
