Verse 1:
N.C.
In the marble there's a carving of a dove below your name
          Em                            G
There's a flower from the garden on the stone above your grave
          Em                            G
There's a sign out at the entrance to remind us Jesus saves
        D
Oh, but you've been done a week
          C                   Em   G   Em   G
I haven't slept in seven days


Verse 2:
  Em                                    G
I thought that I'd drop by to keep from drowning in my mind
           Em                             G
There's an ocean in our room from all the tears that I have cried
             Em                          G
They say the only thing to heal a broken heart is precious time
       D
But forever couldn't ever
          C                   Em   G   Em   G
Fill this hole inside of mine

Verse 3:
Em                                       G
In the dresser there's a letter that you kept for me to see
       Em                                     G
It's a laundry list of things you left that's hard for me to read
          Em                                 G
There's a box that's wrapped in velvet and inside it is your ring
        D
So I'll sleep with it tonight
          C                    Em   G   Em   G
In case I see you in my dreams


Verse 4:
       Em                              G
In the morning I'll decide if I should leave or if I'll stay
        Em                      G
In this moment I am certain I believe I'll go away
            Em
Well they'd find me by the evening
           G
And they'd say that I'm to blame
             D
But what's a rope burn to a heart ache?
     C                       Em  G   Em   G
I'm afraid it's all the same


Verse 5:
       Em                            G
In the marble there's a carving of a dove below your name
          Em                          G
There's a penny made of copper on the stone above our grave
          Em                               G
There's a sign out at the entrance telling people Jesus Saves
         D
Oh, I've never been so weak
N.C.
So I'll see you in a couple days
