Verse:

Chorus
G-D-Em7-Cadd9-Em7-D-Cadd9
G F6/9
So your standing on a ledge
Em7
It looks like you might fall
So far down
C Dadd4add9
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping
G F6/9
Now you could have it all
Em7
If you learned a little patience
C
For though I cannot fly
Dadd4add9
I'm not content to crawl
G F6/9
So give me a little credit
Em7
Have in me a little faith
C
I want to be with you forever
Dadd4add9
If tommorow's not too late
G D Em7
But it's always too late when you've got nothing
Cadd9
So you say (hammer on 0->2 on Astring 0h2)
G D Em7
But you should never let the sun set on tommorow
Cadd9 <---strum once and let ring
Before the sun rises today
G D
If I am
Em7 Cadd9 Em7
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
D Cadd9
I will let you down
G D
If I am
Em7 Cadd9 Em7
Only here to watch as you suffer
D Cadd9
I will let you down
(Instrumental Go through Verse chords)
G-F6/9-Em7-C-Dadd4add9
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nine_days/if_i_am_crd_ver_6.html ]
G F6/9
So your walking on the edge
Em7
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
C Dadd4add9
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
G F6/9
And you could find the fault
Em7
In the heart that you've been handed
C
For though you cannot fly
Dadd4add9
You're not content to crawl
G D Em7
But it's always too late when you've got nothing
Cadd9
So you say
G D Em7
But you should never let the sun set on tommorow
Cadd9
Before the sun rises today
G D
If I am
Em7 Cadd9 Em7
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
D Cadd9
I will let you down
G D
If I am
Em7 Cadd9 Em7
Only here to watch as you suffer
D Cadd9
I will let you down
(instrumental)
D-Em7-D-Cadd9
G F6/9
So you're standing on a ledge
Em7 Cadd9
It looks like you might fall
G D
If I am
Em7 Cadd9 Em7
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
D Cadd9
I will let you down
G D
If I am
Em7 Cadd9 Em7
Only here to watch as you suffer
D Cadd9
I will let you down
G D
The answers we find
Em7 Cadd9
Are never what we had in mind
Em7 D Cadd9
So we make it up as we go along
G D
You don't talk of dreams
Em7 Cadd9
I won't mention tommorow
Em7 D Cadd9
And we won't make those promises that we can't keep
G D Em7 Cadd9
I will never leave you
Em7 D Cadd9
I will never let you down
G D Em7 Cadd9
I will never leave you
Em7 D Cadd9
I will never let you down
