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

       Who would reach for the stars, yeah
