A#
Up here on the ledge
I'm gettin' pushed to the edge
G#               D#                   A#
People line up behind me to step into my shoes

Up here in the precipice
I'm gettin' close to my nemesis
People fighting each other to jump into my blues

Chorus:
Gm                                   Cm
There's a young kid inside me somewhere
Gm               G#                    A#
He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies
           D#          A#
With the blood and the moon in his eyes
Gm                                   Cm
I hear his voice when I'm comin' down
Gm            G#                      A#
Sleep is for fools who never see the sunrise
      D#          A#
Who never get to live twice

I was a face in a magazine
When you were still playin' with your plasticine,
Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream,
You can take the fans and the enemies
The little girls who squeeze and tease
Then pass on their social disease
Go get your penicillin.

C           G 
I know you young and dumb
 F                   C 
I know where you're coming from
C                         G 
Don't know where you're goin' to
 F                C 
But I been there same as you
A#                      F
You're running out of ideas
     C
And new hats to try on

I know you middle age
Same song, different page,
I know what you're goin' through
Made the same mistakes as you,
All you want is some hope
And a shoulder to cry on.

Chorus:
Am
There's a stranger inside me somewhere
                   A#             C
That shadow behind me don't even look like me
    F       C
An echoed apology
He's a wolf in sheep disguise
I wake up in places I don't even recognize
Pretender in paradise

C           G     F      C   F    C
It's your turn, step up and take it
    C                           F      C   F   C
If you've got the guts to hang on you can make it
A#
Come on
Come on
F#     A#m7 F#
Come on
A#m7 F# A#
Ooooh, take it
