[Verse 1]
A                 B/A
And there I stood just like a soldier
A                 B/A bass
I was tough until I saw her
A                 B/A bass            B/C#   C#m   B/C#   C#m
I said hello but she just turned away
A          B                C#m B A
Hey Romeo, what 'cha doing now?
A               B                 C#m B A
with my girl?  Who are you using now?
A   B               B/C#  C#m   B/C#  C#m
I   turn and walk away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A      B            C#m B A
I'm -----going to please her
A      B            C#m B
Now------ you can believe it
C#m               A                  B
I'll be there to catch her when she falls

[Chorus]
        E          B         A
Here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
        E          B         B C#m A
I'm a man (on the edge of a broken heart)
        E          B             A
Here we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
    C#m                     B
So run if you can 'cuz you know
                  E             B        A
I'm a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
           E             B        A
I'm on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)

[Verse 2]
A                  B          C#m B A
I'm on the outside,   looking inside
A                  B                C#m   B    A
You're with him,      whose on the wrong side now?
A           B                    B/C#   C#m   B/C#   C#m
        Do you still think of me?
B C#m A                     B        C#m B
        I've tried to call but no one answers
A                B                   C#m B
Two silhouettes,   a private dancer
A                        B                     B/C#   C#m   B/C#   C#m
The lights go dim as the music starts to fade away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A     B              C#m  B
I'm ----the one who needs you
A     B              C#m  B
Now----   you can believe it
C#m               A                  B
I'll be there to catch you when you fall

[Chorus]
                         E             B          A
You better believe I'm a man (on the edge of a broken heart)
       E          B         B C#m  A
Here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
       E              B        A
And we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
   C#m                         B
So run if you can because you know
                  E            B        A
I'm a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
             E          B         A
I'm on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)

C#m  B  C#m   B  C#m  A   B   E  Esus4

[Verse 3]
E                       C#m
And when I hold out my hands
A                     B
I'll be reaching for you
E                      C#m
I give it all that I've got
                 A
That's all I can do
                         B
When you're waiting for love
                      E
I'll be waiting for you

[Outro]
E      B         A
On the edge of a broken heart (on the edge of a broken heart)
          E            B        B C#m  A
Only for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
             E           B                A
Oh baby for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
    C#m                 B
So run if you can, you know
                 E            B         A
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
            E            B        B C#m  A
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
           E            B         A
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
            E            B        A                                      A   B/A
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken)
