Standard (EADGBE)

Id rather stand on the edge of a cliff

And hang my toes over a bit,

And then jump when they dare me,

Even if it scares me and I get hurt.

Id rather build my wings on the way down,

Do my best not to fall to the ground

and then laugh at my mistakes

cause theyre only lessons Ill learn

Chorus

Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul,

And love like a fire thats out of control,

and laugh and dance and fall

and chance and kiss

Id rather live my whole life

with a sense of abandon,

Squeeze every drop out,

no matter what happens.

And not wonder what Ive missed

Id rather risk.

Well I guess I could just play it safe

and forget about love, hope and faith,

with my eye on the shore line,

keeping my boat tied and staying home,

ohhh but Ill never discover new land

by keeping my feet on the sand

No Id rather set sail

and get carried away by the storm.

Chorus

Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul,

And love like a fire thats out of control,

and laugh and dance and fall

and chance and kiss

Id rather live my whole life

with a sense of abandon,

Squeeze every drop out,

no matter what happens.

And not wonder what Ive missed

Id rather risk.

I would rather risk

Id rather burn with desire deep in my soul,

And love like a fire thats out of control,

Id live my whole life

with a sense of abandon,

Squeeze every drop out,

no matter what happens.

And not wonder what Ive missed

Oh I just cant resist,

The chance to risk

Ohhh live, and love and laugh and dance and fall and chance and kiss

Id rather risk

Id rather risk

Id rather risk

Id rather risk
