If I Am (2) by Nine Days
NINE DAYS - If I Am (2) guitar tab
I by no means think that this is perfect, but I know the one already here was not right,
so I took a stab at it. The fingerings in parenthesis are the ones that I couldnt quite perfect.
Maybe they alternate sometimes, but I'll let you play it and decide whether you want to leave
them off (i.e. the Cadd9 I think sounds better w/o the high G as do the D's w/o the A). It is
very important to watch out for the Cadd9 and C chords, youcan really hear a difference when
you use the right one in the right spot.

LYRICS:
So you're standin on a ledge
It looks like you might fall
It's so far down, maybe you were thinkin about jumpin.
Now you could have it all
If you learned a little patience
For though I cannot fly, I'm not content to crawl.
To give me a little credit
Have in me a little faith
I wanna be with you forever, if tomorrow's not too late.
But it's always too late when you've got nothin
So you say.
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises today
-CHORUS-
If I am another waste of everything you dreamed of
I will let you down.
If I am only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down.
So you're walkin on the edge
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone that you don't see the hands upheld to catch you.
And you could find the fault
In the heart that you've been handed
For though you cannot fly, you're not content to crawl.
And it's always too late when you've got nothin
So you say.
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises...
-chorus-
So you're standin on the ledge
It looks like you might fall..........
-chorus-
The answers we find are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along.
You don't talk of dreams, I won't let you
Tomorrow, we won't make those promises that we can't keep.
I will never leave you
I will not let you down
I will never leave you
I will not let you down
