G                 B7
You, there on the bridge

               C                 B7
Where have you been, what's your name?

    G                 B7
And you, there on the wall

               C                B7
Where will you go to, once you fall?

G            B7
You, lost at sea

            C               B7
Do you need me, do you need directions?

G                 B7
Hey, put down the gun

             C
What are you thinking?

         B7        C
You were someone's son
[Chorus]
    G        
The taste of tears

    B7       
The sting of pain

    C       
The smell of fear

    B7                G
The sounds of crying, oh
B7 C B7 [Verse 2]
  G               B7                  C
A long, long time ago, I fell to this place

             B7
From another dimension

    G                  B7
And thrust amongst the beasts

                 C                      B7
And the way they behave, it borders on dementia

G                     B7
Now through all these years

             C
I can barely take it

                    B7
I don't think I can make it

G                 B7
Take me away from here

             C
I want to go home

       B7
I'm so sick and tired of
[Chorus]
    G        
The taste of tears

    B7       
The sting of pain

    C       
The smell of fear

    B7                G
The sounds of crying, oh

                                      B7
As you stand here at the edge of your life

            C
What do you remember?

       B7
Was it all you wanted?

G                                    B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

               C
I wish I could protect you here

    B7
Oh, please don't cry, now 

G                                           B7
Smile as you stand here at the edge of your life

                  C
Your troubles are over

              B7
Mine are just beginning

G                                    B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

           C
To take me away from here

     B7                 G
It's me you leave behind
B7 C B7 [Bridge]
C           D                 C
Oh, if only I could have been there

         D             C
I'd be a hand for the sinking

        D                 C
If only I could have been there

         D              C
I'd be a prayer for the dying

        D                 C
See the pain etched in my face,

           B7
Oh, I'm so sick and tired of
[Chorus]
    G        
The taste of tears

    B7       
The sting of pain

    C       
The smell of fear

    B7                G
The sounds of crying, oh

                                      B7
As you stand here at the edge of your life

            C
What do you remember?

       B7
Was it all you wanted?

G                                    B7

Oh, please don't cry, now, 

G                                           B7
Smile as you stand here at the edge of your life

                  C
Your troubles are over

              B7
Mine are just beginning

G                                    B7
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

           C
To take me away from here

     B7                 
It's me you leave 
[Bridge]
       G
You're gone from here

      B7
Don't leave from here

      C
Don't leave me here

  B7
I hate it here

       G
You're gone from here

      B7
Don't leave me here

           C
I need you here

  B7              G
I need to see you smile
