 I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong. And sorry for the lack
 of apostrophes--UG does not like them.
 The Precipice by The Classic Crime
 From Phoenix
I  wish I could play the violin
 Id play  til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
 And if  you sang along
We  could write the saddest song
Sometimes  I indulge my every whim
 And piece-by-piece  I build the cell Im in
 But I only  stay here long
 enough  to write the saddest song
 I dreamt I stood  on a hill that I wished  was a mountain
 To look  back on all my accomplishments
 Well they must  have been small because I couldnt  seem to find them
 so I took  a leap off of  the precipice
I  wish I could play piano well
 Id hit  the keys that make your spirit swell
 And if  you sang along
We  could write the saddest song
Whatever  the cost
 Whether it works out or not
Whatever  the cost
 Whether it works out or not
Ill  follow you
 Ill follow you  with my heart
 *Repeat Bridge*
 *Chorus is repeated here a cappella. I like to do one strum per chord here instead.*

The Precipice by The Classic Crime
From Phoenix

[Eb]I wish I could play the violin
Id p[Cm]lay til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
And [Ab]if you sang along
[Bb]We could write the saddest [Eb]song

[Eb]Sometimes I indulge my every whim
And [Cm]piece-by-piece I build the cell Im in
But I [Ab]only stay here long
en[Bb]ough to write the saddest [Eb]song

I dreamt I [Cm]stood on a hill that I [Eb]wished was a mountain
To [Cm]look back on all my accomplish[Eb]ments
Well they [Cm]must have been small because I [Eb]couldnt seem to find them
so I [Ab]took a leap off [Bb]of the precip[Eb]ice

[Eb]I wish I could play piano well
Id [Cm]hit the keys that make your spirit swell
And [Ab]if you sang along
[Bb]We could write the saddest [Eb]song

[Eb]Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not
[Cm]Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not
[Ab]Ill follow you
Ill follow y[Bb]ou with my h[Eb]eart

*Repeat Bridge*

*Chorus is repeated here a cappella.  I like to do one strum per chord here instead.*
