Biography:
Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.
The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

A couple quick notes on chords:
1. The open A in parenthesis is optional, but I think it makes for a fuller sound, especially if playing
acoustic.
2. The D chords at the end of the chorus are meant to go with the melody of the lyrics. If you want to play
like the song though I think it technically goes Dsus4 - Dm - Dsus2 - Dm changing right on the beat.
[Verse]
Am7
Wherever I go, wherever I go,
Em/G
I have to question the hand that I hold close.
Fmaj7
Wherever I go, wherever I go,
Dsus2
I have to silence the words that you fear most.
Am7
Don't ever let go, don't ever let go,
Em/G
are we destined to hit the ground below?
Fmaj7
Don't ever let go, don't ever let go,
Dsus2
We're at the end of a burning tightrope.
[Chorus]
F
Now I'm waiting on the corner in the back of your mind,
Am7
it's a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide.
G Dsus4 (Dm) Dsus2
Cause you told me that you'd never be afraid of heights again.
F
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high,
Am7
you're the only one I'd follow till the end of time.
G Dsus4 (Dm) Dsus2
If we fall, we fall together baby, don't think twice again.
[Verse]
Am7
Together I know, together I know
Em/G
that we'd burn like a rockets afterglow.
Fmaj7
Together I know, together I know,
Dsus2
we could conquer the stars beyond this world.
Am7
We let it all go, we let it all go,
Em/G
I'm just a voice on a broken radio.
Fmaj7
We let it all go, we let it all go,
Dsus2
we got lost in the constellations.
[Chorus]
F
Now I'm waiting on the corner in the back of your mind,
Am7
it's a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide.
G Dsus4 (Dm) Dsus2
Cause you told me that you'd never be afraid of heights again.
F
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high,
Am7
you're the only one I'd follow till the end of time.
G Dsus4 (Dm) Dsus2
If we fall, we fall together baby, don't think twice again.
[Bridge]
Am7 G F Dsus2 X2
Am7 G
And after all of these years, and all of this time.
F Dsus2
Darling, if I'm still a question in your mind,
G Am7
just say the words and this will end.
[Chorus]
F
You told me that you'd never be afraid of heights,
Am7
you told me that you'd nver be afraid of heights,
G Dsus4 (Dm) Dsus2
you told me we should never be afraid of heights again...
F
You told me that you'd never be afraid of heights,
Am7
you told me that you'd never be afraid of heights,
G Dsus4 (Dm) Dsus2
if we fall, we fall together baby don't think twice again...
[Outro]
Am7 Em/G
Wherever I go, wherever I go, I hear your voice on a broken radio.
Fmaj7 Dsus2
Wherever I go, wherever I go, I know we'll burn like a rockets afterglow.
Am7 Em/G
Don't ever let go, don't ever let go, so are we destined to hit the ground below?
Fmaj7 Dsus2
Don't ever let go, don't ever let go, are we just watching the final chapter close?
