On The Safest Ledge

Copeland


Tom: C

(intro 4x)  F G

(verse 1)
       Dm        Am
Don't look ahead, just run to me
      C              G
Each step will find the next one recklessly
         Dm           Am
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
       C           G
Well, pardon me, I couldn't help myself
    F     G     F       G
Girl, fall into your life here
   F G     F      G
If only for a while, I'm here

(chorus 1)
C11     C     Bb        Am
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
      F    G    Am   Em        F  Fm
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
     C11  C           Bb           Am
It's fine,  lock all your doors through the night
    F   G      Am    Em        F  Fm
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
     F   G       F   G
It's fine,  it's fine

( F  G ) (2x)

(verse 2)

     Dm          Am        C         G
You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were
    Dm       Am
An empty house, a lonely room
   C           G
The TV talks the fear right out of you
           F    G    F          G
But you feel like someone's standing by, but you'll never know

(chorus 2)
C11     C     Bb        Am
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
      F    G    Am   Em        F  Fm
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
     C11  C           Bb           Am
It's fine,  lock all your doors through the night
    F   G      Am    Em        F  Fm
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
     (mute)
It's fine

(bridge)
  F  G   Am  Em    Am               C  G
The sun burns a  hole straight through your old flaws
     F   G     Am  Em   Am       Dm     G
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night
F       G           Am       * Am/G#
Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
     Am/G  Am/F#         F       G
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?

(chorus 3)
C11     C     Bb        Am
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
      F    G    Am   Em        F  Fm
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
     C11  C           Bb           Am
It's fine,  lock all your doors through the night
    F   G      Am    Em        F  Fm
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
     (mute)
It's fine
