[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?
