                       C
We were staring down disaster
                      Am
That night, we almost called it quits
                                F
You said that you were changing chapters
                              C
I said this can't be where it ends
                    C
Not even poetry can fix this
                        Am
Right now, we both need more than words
                           F
If we give up, we're gonna miss this
                       C
Can we remember who we were

Pre-Chorus:
                Dm
Standing on St. Brigid's Road
                 F
Where we finally let it go


Chorus:
                      C
We held a funeral for heartache
                  Am
We buried trouble in the grass
                        F6
Wе didn't bother buying roses
                           C
'Cause wе ain't ever going back
                             C
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow
               Am
I barely know about today
                     F6
We set a fire to our sorrow
                              C
And watched the hurt go up in flames


Verse 2:
C                                                          Am
 Grief is such a solid promise, joy just leaves you in the rain
                                                      F6
Sadness waits down in the lobby, solace stood you up again
                                                      C
I'm thankful for the darkness, everything that let me see
                                                    C
So much beauty in the storm, like how you turn to me
                                                           Am
If I'm honest, you're the reason that the light gets in at all
                                                                     F6
You're the song that breaks the silence, you're the smile at curtain call
                                                        C
I'm scared of who I'd be without you much more than you know
                              C
If I seem strong, it's just a show


Pre-Chorus:
                Dm
Standing on St. Brigid's Road
                 F
Where we finally let it go


Chorus:
                      C
We held a funeral for heartache
                  Am
We buried trouble in the grass
                        F6
Wе didn't bother buying roses
                           C
'Cause wе ain't ever going back
                             C
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow
               Am
I barely know about today
                     F6
We set a fire to our sorrow
                              C
And watched the hurt go up in flames


Bridge:
C
 Oh, no-no
                     Am
We ain't never going back
F6
 Oh, no-no
                     C
We ain't never going back


Chorus:
                      C
We held a funeral for heartache
                  Am
We buried trouble in the grass
                        F
Wе didn't bother buying roses
                           C
'Cause wе ain't ever going back
                             C
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow
               Am
I barely know about today
                     F6
We set a fire to our sorrow
                              C
And watched the hurt go up in flames
