Verso:

  Em        G/B   C       Am
   I was standing on the edge
  Em          G/B      C       Am
   I longed for a new beginning
       Em                  G/B  C               Am
 But I couldn't look down, no I couldn't look down
        D       G/B  C  Am
 I'm a coward
  Em                  G/B         C         Am
    A million voices screamed in my head
  Em                       G/B   C         Am
    And I felt sure that I would give in
       Em              G/B  C              Am
So why couldn't I now? Why couldn't I now?
         D               G/B  C  Am
 Your voice was louder
 
D           G/B          Em        Em9
  By design God gave me feelings
D                     G/B     Em      Em9
  And by design they shalt not kill
D               G/B         Em     Em9
  But when the noises overwhelm me
C         Am              Dsus4  D
  I feel sure that they will

      Em   C                 Am              D
 Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me
       Em    C               A        D
 I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
                      Em  C  Am  D
 You whisper in the bre-------eeze
                     Em  C  Am  D
 Whispers that I'm ne----------eded
  (Repeat first riff in the intro)
          C#m7b5            CMaj7   Em
 Quiet words, soothe the hurt, whisperer

 Em                G/B                  C       Am
    And though I struggle through the days now
 Em                       G/B         C        Am
    It helps to know that you are listening
     Em                G/B  C          Am
So I just wait it out, I'll wait this out
       D        G/B  C    Am
by the hour

D           G/B          Em        Em9
  By design God gave me feelings
D                     G/B     Em      Em9
  And by design they shalt not kill
D               G/B         Em     Em9
  But when the noises overwhelm me
C         Am              Dsus4 D
  I feel sure that they will

     Em   C                 Am              D
 Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me
       Em    C               A        D
 I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
                      Em  C  Am  D
 You whisper in the bre-------eeze
                     Em  C  Am  D
 Whispers that I'm ne----------eded
  (Repeat first riff in the intro)
          C#m7b5            CMaj7   Em
 Quiet words, soothe the hurt, whisperer
