              Gm
Back from the edge
               D#
Back from the dead
             F                         A#
Back before demons took control of my head
              Gm
Back to the start
            Cm
Back to my heart
             D
Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

       Oh, he would reach for the stars, yeah

[verse 1]
            Gm                    D#
You can take my home, you can take my clothes
                   F                        A#
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                    D#
I don't want control, I can dig my own hole
               F                       A#
I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold
                     Gm
'Cause I don't need heat,
                      Cm
I've been burnin' in hell
             D
But now I'm back with my own story to tell

[chorus]

Back from the edge
               D#
Back from the dead
             F                         A#

Back to the start
            Cm
Back to my heart
             D                            Gm

Oh, back from the edge
               D#
Back from the dead
               F                           A#
Back from the tears that were too easily shed
              Gm

Back to my heart
             D

[verse 2]
                  Gm
They don't like my lies,
                  D#
they don't like my songs
              F                          A#
Except in karaoke when they're singing along
                          Gm
Did you see them build me up?
                       Cm
Well I just tear myself down
                    D
With a smile on my face,

I dug my grave in the ground
                Gm                       D#
We all make mistakes, we're so quick to judge
                 F                         A#
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
