Verse 1
Em
C#dim
first meeting you when
D
A
You were a small blond kid about
nine or ten
Em
Your mother went missing and
your father drank
A
For your first real home
you had an aunt to thank
You came to stay when you were still quite
young
Em
You had mischievous eyes
and a razorsharp tongue
Life has its interludes and
As we'd pretend for the weekend
you were our son
Em
We used to pick you up when you
were feeling blue
A
Take you out to the movies and the circus
too
But nothing's forever
and it couldn't last
Em
D
We had our own baby,
A
Em
and the moment passed
If you felt betrayed, boy,
you hid it well

But when I think back
now I feel guilty as hell
You hit the bottle when you
D
hit your teens
G
Became runaway jailbait for
F#dim
B
chicken queens
Verse 2

Am
Don't jump, don't fall
D
There's a world of love out there
G
F#dim
B
and you can have it all
Verse 3
must've seemed like fun
The kind of life you lived when you
were on the run
The tricks you turned, and the drugs
you'd done
As you scraped the barrel with
A
Em
your lowlife chums
You were always so certain
you'd never see thirty
Am
When you called collect to
talk drunk and dirty
D
A restless aching deep within
G
F#dim
B
And the pain of inhabiting a human skin
Em
Don't

here's a world of love out there and
G
F#dim
B
you could have it all
Em
Am
Don't jump, don't fall,
D
standing on that balcony,
G

your back against a wall
B
You
Verse 5
Em
must have been
shaking with a terrible dread
A
As you climbed unsteady from
your unmade bed
Em
Did you feel relief or did you just feel
numb
Esus4
A
To know your mo ment
had finally come
Em
B
When you left the flat on that fi nal night
A
Did you lock the door, did
you leave the light
Em
Did you think of her, did you think of me
A
Or did you simply think you
were about to be free
Em
C
The alcohol raging round your veins
Am
The black depression
pouring down like rain
D
I pray to God by every holy
name
G
My own sweet children never

and you could have it all
Em

Don't jump, don't fall,
D
standing on that balcony,
G
B
your back against a wall
Don't jump
