The Classic Crime The Precipice Lyrics

I play it with capo 3 instead, which have the following chord translations:
D# = C
Cm = Am
G# = F
A# = G
This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original
instead of just chords. Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A and D strings back and
forth for the C and the Am and the E and A strings for the F (barred) and G.
Something like this:
I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong. And sorry for the lack
of apostrophes--UG does not like them.

The Precipice by The Classic Crime
From Phoenix
Verse 1:
I wish I could play the violin
Id play til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
And if you sang along
We could write the saddest song
Verse 2:
Sometimes I indulge my every whim
And piece-by-piece I build the cell Im in
But I only stay here long
enough to write the saddest song
Chorus:
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain
To look back on all my accomplishments
Well they must have been small because I couldnt seem to find them
so I took a leap off of the precipice
Verse 3:
I wish I could play piano well
Id hit the keys that make your spirit swell
And if you sang along
We could write the saddest song
*Repeat Chorus*
Bridge:
Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
Ill follow you
Ill follow you with my heart
*Repeat Bridge*
*Chorus is repeated here a cappella. I like to do one strum per chord here instead.*
