G
Id rather stand on the edge of a cliff
Em
And hang my toes over a bit,
C
And then jump when they dare me,
DG
Even if it scares me and I get hurt.
G
Id rather build my wings on the way down,
Em
Do my best not to fall to the ground
C
and then laugh at my mistakes
DG
cause theyre only lessons Ill learn
Chorus:
CD
Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul,
GEm
And love like a fire thats out of control,
CD
and laugh and dance and fall
GD
and chance and kiss
C
Id rather live my whole life
D
with a sense of abandon,
G
Squeeze every drop out,
Em
no matter what happens.
CD
And not wonder what Ive missed
EmD/F#G
Id rather risk.
G
Well I guess I could just play it safe
EmDCG
and forget about love, hope and faith,
C
with my eye on the shore line,
DG
keeping my boat tied and staying home,
G
ohhh but Ill never discover new land
Em
by keeping my feet on the sand
C
No Id rather set sail
DG
and get carried away by the storm.
Chorus:
CD
Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul,
GEm
And love like a fire thats out of control,
CD
and laugh and dance and fall
GD
and chance and kiss
C
Id rather live my whole life
D
with a sense of abandon,
G
Squeeze every drop out,
Em
no matter what happens.
CD
And not wonder what Ive missed
EmD/F#GEmD/F#G
Id rather risk.
EmD/F#G
I would rather risk
CD
Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul,
GEm
And love like a fire thats out of control,
C
Id live my whole life
D
with a sense of abandon,
G
Squeeze every drop out,
Em
no matter what happens.
CD
And not wonder what Ive missed
EmD/F#G
Oh I just cant resist,
DG
The chance to risk
GDCDEmCD
Ohhh live, and love and laugh and dance and fall and chance and kiss
