Chorus
G-D-Em7-Cadd9-Em7-D-Cadd9


G                       F6/9
  So your standing on a ledge
                        Em7
It looks like you might fall

So far down
   C                       Dadd4add9
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping
G                       F6/9
  Now you could have it all 
                         Em7
If you learned a little patience
                     C
For though I cannot fly 
            Dadd4add9
I'm not content to crawl 
G	              F6/9 
  So give me a little credit
                      Em7                      
Have in me a little faith 
                       C
I want to be with you forever
               Dadd4add9
If tommorow's not too late
G          D                               Em7
  But it's always too late when you've got nothing 
       Cadd9
So you say     (hammer on 0->2 on Astring  0h2)
G                D                        Em7
  But you should never let the sun set on tommorow
  Cadd9 <---strum once and let ring
Before the sun rises today
G    D
If I am 
Em7              Cadd9          Em7     
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
D              Cadd9
I will let you down
G    D
If I am 
Em7          Cadd9        Em7
Only here to watch as you suffer
D              Cadd9
I will let you down

(Instrumental Go through Verse chords)
G-F6/9-Em7-C-Dadd4add9
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nine_days/if_i_am_crd_ver_6.html ]
G                        F6/9
  So your walking on the edge
                          Em7
And you wait your turn to fall
                   
But you're so far gone
     C                         Dadd4add9
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
G                        F6/9           
  And you could find the fault
                              Em7
In the heart that you've been handed
                      C
For though you cannot fly
               Dadd4add9
You're not content to crawl 
G        D                               Em7
But it's always too late when you've got nothing 
       Cadd9
So you say
G              D                        Em7
But you should never let the sun set on tommorow
Cadd9
Before the sun rises today
G    D
If I am 
Em7              Cadd9          Em7     
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
D              Cadd9
I will let you down
G    D
If I am 
Em7          Cadd9        Em7
Only here to watch as you suffer
D              Cadd9
I will let you down

(instrumental)
D-Em7-D-Cadd9

G                       F6/9
So you're standing on a ledge
                        Em7  Cadd9
It looks like you might fall
G    D
If I am 
Em7              Cadd9          Em7     
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
D              Cadd9
I will let you down
G    D
If I am 
Em7          Cadd9        Em7
Only here to watch as you suffer
D              Cadd9
I will let you down
G           D   
The answers we find 
    Em7           Cadd9  
Are never what we had in mind
      Em7        D        Cadd9
So we make it up as we go along
G                 D
You don't talk of dreams
        Em7        Cadd9
I won't mention tommorow 
       Em7              D             Cadd9
And we won't make those promises that we can't keep
G  D              Em7        Cadd9
     I will never leave you
Em7 D             Cadd9
     I will never let you down
G  D              Em7        Cadd9
     I will never leave you
Em7 D             Cadd9
     I will never let you down
