-Capo on 5th fret-
Intro: C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
C majorC A minorAm
This city is haunted by the ghost of failure, I am one and you are one
FF
We've spent this whole time on the run from a lie that I told
G+G
That you closed your eyes and you chose to believe
C majorC
So now you ask me for honesty, Just take a second, breathe
A minorAm
I'm not good enough for you, you were never good enough to me
FF G+G
No one's ever good enough to be, or have something so naïve
C majorC
When I broke my hand on your car, when you told me you were leavin'
A minorAm
And I begged for your forgiveness, my broken fingers bleedin'
FF G+G
My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins
G+G FF G+G C majorC
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
C majorC
Now I picture you like snowflakes, like desperate pouring rain
A minorAm
Like the beating of the drum in the parade of the insane
FF
You are the whisper in my ear, when I wake and no one's here
G+G
There's just the echo of your name
C majorC
So now you ask me for honesty, I close my eyes, breathe,
A minorAm
I'm the one who always is so ready to leave
FF
To be a distant memory
G+G
To be a ship disappearing in the sea
C majorC
And I crashed upon your rocks when I heard your voice singing
A minorAm
And I begged for your love with my busted ears ringing
FF
My hopeful heart repeating
G+G
You are more than the promise of the sea
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast the cursed ruins
G+G FF G+G C majorC
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
-End on C-
