Chords

[Verse 1]
    F
The sweat dripping off of my lips

    Bb
The blood dripping off of my brow

         F
I could really use a power trip

         Bb
I could really use an angel right now

          F
There's a violence I never thought real

         Bb
Between the crack in my palms

              F
And there's a silence you really can feel

          Bb
There's a dream I wanna wake up from
[Chorus]
Bb                        C
Hey, hey, mama, would you look at me?

    F                          Bb
I'm sitting on the edge of the world

           Bb                     C
I've got a strong, strong urge to fly now

         F                      Bb
But I'm screaming like a little girl

Bb                         C
Hey, hey, mama, would you look at me?

       F                Bb
In the center of the universe

         Bb                         C
It's so pretty out here, but there's no way down

     F                           Bb
I'm fading, and it's starting to hurt

     F                           Bb
I'm fading, and it's starting to hurt
[Verse 2]
        F
It's so tough when you feel it dig in

          Bb
You can't stand on the hallowed ground

          F
It starts showing like a murder grin

        Bb
You try screaming, but it don't come out

      F
Start counting down the breath in my lungs

         Bb
I take a big one, two in deep

      F
I try looking for the starting gun

      Bb
And I find it pointing right at me
[Chorus]
Bb                        C
Hey, hey, mama, would you look at me?

    F                          Bb
I'm sitting on the edge of the world

           Bb                     C
I've got a strong, strong urge to fly now

         F                      Bb
But I'm screaming like a little girl

Bb                         C
Hey, hey, mama, would you look at me?

       F                Bb
In the center of the universe

         Bb                         C
It's so pretty out here, but there's no way down

     F                           Bb
I'm fading, and it's starting to hurt

     F                           Bb
I'm fading, and it's starting to hurt
[Bridge]
              Bb     C     F
But there's a tough, slick kid

        Bb C  F
Looking up at me

       Bb    C   F
And he blows his lid

         Bb   C   F
And he's good and mean

       Bb   C   F
And he cuts me loose

    Bb F C
And I become

    Bb   F  C
The pain of yesterday

        Bb F    C
And the setting sun
[Chorus]
Bb                        C
Hey, hey, mama, would you look at me?

    F                          Bb
I'm sitting on the edge of the world

           Bb                     C
I've got a strong, strong urge to fly now

         F               Bb
And the big sail came unfurled

Bb                         C
Hey, hey, mama, would you look at me?

       F                Bb
In the center of the universe

         Bb                         C
It's so pretty out here, but there's no way down

     F                         Bb
I'm standing on the top of the Earth

       F                          Bb
See me standing on the top of the Earth?

       F                          Bb
See me standing on the top of the Earth?

       F                          Bb
See me standing on the top of the Earth?
