I think I take the cake
Em           A5
   Or maybe steal a million dollars
Em  A5                 Em
    Cover ourselves in jewels
A5             Em
Go down to the park
  A5               Em
Reflecting all the stars
A5            Em
Ride upon the swing
   A5             Em    A5
Forget about everything

It's the edge of the world

It's the edge of the world

Verse 2:

Em           A5                Em
   Now I can see the Mona Lisa
     A5                      Em
That cold and lonely work of art
        A5                         Em    A5
But I'd never thought it'd be this hard
Em            A5                     Em
   Peeling an orange in your kitchen
    A5          Em
You know I understand
    A5                Em
The juice all over my hand

Chorus:

C#m   Amaj7                      C#m   Amaj7                    
Smile       it's the edge of the world
                     C#m   Amaj7
It's the edge of the world
                     C#m   Amaj7
It's the edge of the world
C#m   Amaj7                      C#m   Amaj7                    
Smile       it's the edge of the world
                     C#m   Amaj7
It's the edge of the world
                     C#m   Amaj7
It's the edge of the world
