[Verse 1]
[Am]Why should you be the one
[C]to go out on the[Em] edge?

another dead [Em]hero?
[Am]Why should you be the one
[C]to go out on the edg[Em]e?
[Am]Do you really want to be[C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]People have [G]expectations
of a [F]man in your position
[G]They wan[C]t you to carry some tor[G]ch
into the public [Am]view[Em]
[Am]Voyeurs of this worl[G]d,
ig[F]noring your [G]beautiful words
Say they [C]want you to survive but they de
[G]mand this madness [Am]of y[Em]ou

[Verse 3]

another dead [Em]hero?
Why should you be the one to go
out on the edge?

to be another dead hero?
[Am]I love your music and I [G]love your songs
I [F]love the wild things in [G]your head
I [C]want you here with us,
[G]helping us to stick to this [Am]mad [Em]place
But for [Am]so many years now this h[G]abit's
been forming and [F]so many others have [G]failed
You made [C]friends with that devil,
now he [G]feels a little kinder to face
[Am][Em]

[Verse 6]
I [Am]think of the young ones who
[G]make their way home
Through the [F]night after
one of your [G]shows
Their [C]lives a little richer for [G]having
been touched by [Am]you[Em]
They [Am]dance and they sweat
[G]and they call out your name
The ex[F]citement just spills
out and [G]flows
You've been [C]singing your guts out,
is [G]that no enough [Am]to do?
[Em]

[C]to go out on the edg[Em]e?
[Am]Do you really want to be[C] another dead [Em]hero?
