(this is also played in the verse, but I wrote down the chords; so you can decide what you wanna play :) ) 
Em5 
I’m on the verge, preparing for the unknown 
                                   C5      D5 
I’ve got my feet half way over the edge, 
                  Em5              
flirting with the ledge 

Em5 
I’m no good making any big moves, 
                                   C5      D5 
even a small one can have big consequences 
              Em5 
Finger on the trigger
