The Precipice by The Classic Crime




                             The Precipice 






I play it with capo 3 instead, which have the following chord translations:
D# = C
Cm = Am
G# = F
A# = G

This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original 
instead of just chords.  Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A and D strings back and 
forth for the C and the Am and the E and A strings for the F (barred) and G.

Something like this:
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-6---6---6---6---6----|
E|----------------------| ...continue until chord change

D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-3---3---3---3---3----|
E|----------------------| ...continue

D|----------------------|
A|---6---6---6---6---6--|
E|-4---4---4---4---4----| ...continue

D|----------------------|
E|---5---5---5---5---5--|
E|-6---6---6---6---6----| ...continue








Verse 1:

D#
I wish I could play the violin
    Cm
Id play til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
    G#
And if you sang along
A#                         D#
We could write the saddest song


Verse 2:

D#
Sometimes I indulge my every whim
    Cm
And piece-by-piece I build the cell Im in
      G#
But I only stay here long
  A#                        D#
enough to write the saddest song


Chorus:

           Cm                     D#
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain
   Cm                            D#
To look back on all my accomplishments
          Cm                             D#
Well they must have been small because I couldnt seem to find them
     G#              A#           D#
so I took a leap off of the precipice


Verse 3:

D#
I wish I could play piano well
   Cm
Id hit the keys that make your spirit swell
    G#
And if you sang along
A#                         D#
We could write the saddest song



*Repeat Chorus*



Bridge:

D#
Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not
Cm
Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not
G#
Ill follow you
            A#          D#
Ill follow you with my heart


*Repeat Bridge*


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








I wish I could play the violin 
I'd 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 I'm 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 couldn't seem to find them 
so I took a leap off of the precipice 

I wish I could play piano well 
I'd 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 
I'll follow you with my heart
