[Intro]
Dm Bb

[Verse 1]
      Dm                            Bb
I put one foot in front of the other
             Dm
Another step closer to the ledge
Dm                     Bb
Will I make it I wonder
    Dm
And now I'm free fallin',
gravity's calling
Bb
And I can't turn back now
      Dm                            Bb
I put one foot in front of the other

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
And lately I've been going my own way
Bb
I guess these old habits die hard
                     Dm
And lately I've been missing
my old ways
Dm
Guess I'm headed for a permanent scar
C                   Bb
And maybe I've been thinking
bout crashing
Bb
While I'm waiting on
the last train home
               Dm
Maybe it's the quiet things
that always hurt the most

[Chorus]
         C                  Gm
'Cause I can't change who I am
                  C
But maybe I could try to understand
         F                Am
There is peace inside the panic
    Dm                          Gm
Are heroes always tragic in the end
                 C
Or are they only voices in our heads
              F
The more they talk the
       Am
more I think some things
    Dm
are better left unsaid
       Bb             Bm7
Here today and gone tomorrow
like we're
Dm    Bb
Doomed
           Dm    Bb
Like we're doomed

[Verse 2]
Dm
The more you look the
less you're gonna see
Bb
Before you know it's gone too soon
Dm
So take my hand,
it's all that I have
Bb
We can sit and watch
the colors bloom
Dm
Everybody prays when
their time is borrowed
Bb
But never for the time they've got
Dm
Yeah and everybody sings
like there's no tomorrow
Bb
Until the music stops
