Verse:
[Em] I was sta[G/B]standing [C]on the e[Am]edge
[Em] I longed fo[G/B]r a new b[C]eginning[Am]
But I [Em]couldn't look down, [G/B]no I [C]couldn't look do[Am]down
I'm a c[D]coward [G/B] [C] [Am]
[Em] A million voices s[G/B]screamed in m[C]my head [Am]
[Em] And I felt sure that I [G/B]would [C]give in [Am]
So why [Em]couldn't I now? [G/B]Why c[C]couldn't I now? [Am]
Your voi[D]voice was louder [G/B] [C] [Am]
[D] By design [G/B]God gave me f[Em]feelings [Em9]
[D] And by design they s[G/B]shalt not[Em]not kill [Em9]
[D] But when the n[G/B]noises overwh[Em]overwhelm me [Em9]
[C] I feel s[Am]sure that they wi[Dsus4]will [D]
Oh, l[Em]ibera[C]tion, comes in wha[Am]tever form to sa[D]ve me
I hit [Em]bottom[C], and then the w[A]hisper co[D]mes
You whisper in the br[Em]e---[C]---[Am]-eez[D]e
Whispers that I'm ne[Em]----[C]---[Am]---e[D]ded
(Repeat first riff in the intro)
Quiet wor[C#m7b5]ds, soothe the hur[CMaj7]t, whisp[Em]erer
[Em] And though I st[G/B]struggle through the da[C]days now [Am]
[Em] It helps to know that [G/B]you are list[C]listening [Am]
So I [Em]just wait it out, [G/B]I'll [C]wait this o[Am]out
by the [D]hour [G/B] [C] [Am]
[D] By design [G/B]God gave me f[Em]feelings [Em9]
[D] And by design they s[G/B]shalt not[Em]not kill [Em9]
[D] But when the n[G/B]noises overwh[Em]overwhelm me [Em9]
[C] I feel s[Am]sure that they wi[Dsus4]will [D]
Oh, [Em]liber[C]ation, comes in wh[Am]atever form to s[D]ave me
I hit [Em]bottom[C], and then the w[A]hisper co[D]mes
You whisper in the br[Em]e---[C]---[Am]-eez[D]e
Whispers that I'm ne[Em]----[C]---[Am]---e[D]ded
(Repeat first riff in the intro)
Quiet wor[C#m7b5]ds, soothe the hur[Cmaj7]t, whisp[Em]erer
