VERSE 1:
G D Cadd9
So you're standing on the ledge, it looks like you might fall
F C G
So far down or maybe you were thinking about jumping
D Cadd9
But you could have it all, if you learned a little patience
F C G
For though I cannot fly, I'm not content to crawl
G D Cadd9
So give me a little credit, have in me a little faith
F C Cadd9
I wanna be with you forever if tomorrow's not too late
D Cadd9 G
But it's always too late when you've got nothing, so you say
Cadd9 D Cadd9
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises today
CHORUS:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nine_days/if_i_am_crd_ver_2.html ]
G D Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
If I am, another waste of everything you dreamed of, I will let you down
G D Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
If I am only here to watch you as you suffer, I will let you down
INTERLUDE:
G-D-Cadd9-F-C-G
VERSE 2:(Same as verse 1... here's the lyrics)
So you're walkin on the edge, and you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone that you don't see the hands up held to catch you
And you could find the fault, in the heart that you've been handed
But though you cannot fly, you're not content to crawl
And it's always too late when you've got nothing, so you say
But you should never let the sun set on tonorrow, before the sun rises
CHORUS: Same as before
DURING SOLO:G-D-Cadd9 (2x)
After solo it goes like this:
G D Cadd9
So you're standing on the ledge it looks like you might fall...
CHORUS: Same as last two times
These lyrics are played in the same rhythm pattern and with the same chords
as the chorus:
The answers we find were never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don't talk in dreams, I won't mention tomorrow,
We won't make those promises that we can't keep
I will never leave you, I will not let you down
I will never leave you, I will not let you down (end on Cadd9)
