Verse:
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
Once I was dug up I was sinking
G+G FF
I was longing to be saved
C majorC G+G
I lapped up to the bay bar
FF G+G FF
And I saw her bobbing like a wave
DmDm FF
And I slowed down
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
Just six months this summer since I've known her
G+G FF
That she's been away
C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G FF
DmDm
And sometimes I still answer to the gone ghosts that only suckers make
FF G+G DmDm FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G FF
Slow down and hold on hold on
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
Even my heroes are almost gone
G+G FF
Almost folding from the flame
C majorC G+G
But how low how can your fuse glow
FF C majorC G+G FF DmDm FF G+G FF DmDm FF
And warm you until your torch begins to fade
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
I dreamed of a couple dancing close and drunk
G+G FF
In the spray of lights they made
C majorC G+G
And once I was dug up
FF C majorC G+G FF DmDm FF G+G
I was sinking but now I'm longing to be saved
