♫ Verse 1:
Bm      D              G         F#
On the broken backs of all the words we spared
Bm           D               G          F#
Like little soldiers in the trenches
Bm      D                     G       F#
It was a march we made towards ruin and despair
Bm          D             G
But we held hands all the while

Beneath the table you would offer up my bones
Bm       D             G          F#
And all the dogs would lick your fingers
Bm            D                  G               F#
And I dragged you through every room inside our home
Bm      D                G
But you still held me at night

It was an honest loss

Now the aftermath will ring with songs you've sung

I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown

But you were already gone
