Intro: G C G C G C D 2x 
 
         G          C 
As I stepped to the edge 
            G           D 
Beyond the shadow of a doubt 
G        C          G   D 
With my conscience beating 
          G          C 
Like the pulse of a drum 
      G             D 
That hammers on and on 
      C           D         G 
Until I reach the break of day 
        G         C 
As the sun beats down on 
     G       D 
The halfway house 
G       C          G  D 
Has my conscience beating 
     G          C 
The sound in my ear 
         G      D 
The will to preserve 
      C          D      G 
As I reach the break of day 
 
 
                   Em         G 
When you lost all hope and excuses 
          D                G 
And the cheapskates & the losers 
           Em            G 
Nothing?s left to cling onto 
            C    D                   G      
You got you hold on, hold on do yourself 
 
G C G C G C D 
 
   G      C 
A cry of hope 
    G       D 
A plea for peace 
G       C          G  D 
And my conscience beating 
      G          C 
It?s not what I want for 
G                D 
It?s all that I need 
    C          D       G 
To reach the break of day 
      G         C     
So I run to de edge 
 
            G            D 
Beyond the shadows of a doubt 
G        C          G   D 
With my conscience bleeding 
G              C 
Here lies the truth 
     G                    D 
The lost treasures of my youth 
          C          D        G  
As I hold on to the break of day 
 
 
                   Em         G 
When you lost all hope and excuses 
          D                G 
And the cheapskates & the losers 
           Em            G 
Nothing?s left to cling onto 
            C    D                   G      
You got you hold on, hold on do yourself  
 
 
                   Em         G 
When you lost all hope and excuses 
          D                G 
And the cheapskates & the losers 
           Em            G 
Nothing?s left to cling onto 
            C    D                   G      
You got you hold on, hold on do yourself
