Sharp Edges (One More Light Live)

[Intro]

We'd like to play something for you that we worked up today in the dressing room

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 1]

Mama always told me, "Don't you run

Don't you run with scissors, son

You're gonna hurt someone"

Mama told me, "Look before you leap

Always think before you speak

Watch the friends you keep"

[Pre-Chorus]

Stay along the beaten path

Never listened when she said

[Chorus]

"Sharp edges have consequences", I

Guess that I had to find out for myself

Sharp edges have consequences, now

Every scar is a story I can tell

[Verse 2]

Should've played it safer from the start

Loved you like a house of cards, let it fall apart

But all the things I couldn't understand

Never could've planned made me who I am

Put your nose in paperbacks

Instead of smoking cigarettes, these are years you're never getting back

[Pre-Chorus]

Stay along the beaten path

Never listened when she said

[Chorus]

"Sharp edges have consequences", I

Guess that I had to find out for myself

Sharp edges have consequences, now

Every scar is a story I can tell

[Bridge]

We all fall down, we live somehow

We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

We all fall down, we live somehow

We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]

Put along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]

"Sharp edges have consequences", I

Guess that I had to find out for myself

Sharp edges have consequences, now

Every scar is a story I can tell

[Outro]

We all fall down, we live somehow

We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

We all fall down, we live somehow

We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Spoken Outro: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

Man, playing guitar and singing is really hard

Dude, Mike is back here, like, playing drums, playing keyboards, guitars, rapping, and I'm like, all five thumbs

*Laughter*

You wanna take a break from playing guitar and singing for a minute then?

What's that?

You wanna take a break from it, then?

Oh, no, I like playing guitar, it's super fun

I mean if you can't have fun doing this, you're doing it wrong, you know what I mean?
