[Chorus]
Am
Back from the edge
F
Back from the dead
G C
Back before demons took control of my head
Am
Back to the start
Dm
Back to my heart
E Am
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars
Em C D C Em F E
Oh, he would reach for the stars, yeah
[Verse 1]
Am F
You can take my home, you can take my clothes
G C
You can take the drugs I have that nobody knows
Am Dm
You can take my watch, you can take my phone
E
You can take all I've got 'til I'm skin and bone
Am F
I don't want control, I can dig my own hole
G C
I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold
Am Dm
'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hell
E
But now I'm back with my own story to tell
[Chorus]
Am
Back from the edge
F
Back from the dead
G C
Back before demons took control of my head
Am
Back to the start
Dm
Back to my heart
E Am
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars
Am
Oh, back from the edge
F
Back from the dead
G C
Back from the tears that were too easily shed
Am
Back to the start
Dm
Back to my heart
E Am
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars
Em C D C Em Dm E
Who would reach for the stars, yeah
[Verse 2]
Am F
They don't like my lies, they don't like my songs
G C
Except in karaoke when they're singing along
Am Dm
Did you see them build me up? Well I just tear myself down
E
With a smile on my face, I dug my grave in the ground
Am F
We all make mistakes, we're so quick to judge
G C
It's hard to forgive when we hold onto a grudge
Am Dm
So turn down the heat, I've been burnin' in hell
E
But now I'm back with my own story to tell
[Chorus]
Am
Back from the edge
F
Back from the dead
G C
Back before demons took control of my head
Am
Back to the start
Dm
Back to my heart
E Am
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars
Am
Oh, back from the edge
F
Back from the dead
G C
Back from the tears that were too easily shed
Am
Back to the start
Dm
Back to my heart
E Am
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars
Em C D C Em Dm E
Who would reach for the stars, yeah
[Bridge]
Am F
I don't want control, I can dig my own hole
G C
I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold
Am Dm
'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hell
E
But now I'm back with my own story to tell
[Chorus]

Back to my heart
