              Em
[tab]               C
Back from the dead

             D                         G
Back before demons took control of my head

              Em
Back to the start

            Am
Back to my heart

             B                            Em
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Em C D G                            Em C  B
       Oh, he would reach for the stars, yeah
[Verse 1]
            Em                    C
You can take my home, you can take my clothes

                   D                        G
You can take the drugs I have that nobody knows

                 Em                      Am
You can take my watch, you can take my phone

             B
You can take all I've got 'til I'm skin and bone

                  Em                    C
I don't want control, I can dig my own hole

               D                       G
I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold

                     Em                         Am
'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hell

             B
But now I'm back with my own story to tell
[Chorus]
              Em
Back from the edge

               C
Back from the dead

             D                         G
Back before demons took control of my head

              Em
Back to the start

            Am
Back to my heart

             B                            Em
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

                  Em
Oh, back from the edge

               C
Back from the dead

               D                           G
Back from the tears that were too easily shed

              Em
Back to the start

            Am
Back to my heart

             B                            Em
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Em C D G                            Em Am  B
       Who would reach for the stars, yeah
[Verse 2]
                  Em                       C                
They don't like my lies, they don't like my songs

              D                          G                 
Except in karaoke when they're singing along

                          Em                         Am   
Did you see them build me up? Well I just tear myself down

                    B                                     
With a smile on my face, I dug my grave in the ground

                Em                       C                  
We all make mistakes, we're so quick to judge

                 D                         G               
It's hard to forgive when we hold onto a grudge

                  Em                         Am           
So turn down the heat, I've been burnin' in hell

             B                                            
But now I'm back with my own story to tell

Back to the start

            Am
Back to my heart

             B                            Em
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

                  Em
Oh, back from the edge

               C
Back from the dead

               D                           G
Back from the tears that were too easily shed

              Em
Back to the start

            Am
Back to my heart

             B                            Em
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Em C D G                            Em Am  B
       Who would reach for the stars, yeah
[Bridge]
                  Em                    C
I don't want control, I can dig my own hole

               D                       G
I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold

                     Em                         Am
'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hell

             B
But now I'm back with my own story to tell

Oh, back from the edge
