Verse:
          Em
What will I find?
     G          C
Some sacred thing to help me handle the

tragedy?
       Bm          G
Or did I once-Did I have it and lose it?

Em
No one should ever have to walk through
G

the fire alone.
C
No one should ever have to brave that storm.
    Bm             G
No, Everybody needs someone or something.

         Em            G           C
And when I sing, don’t I sing your name out
             Bm               G           D
Right at the same time that I sing my own?

Em                       E        C
 Some days I swear I can feel you splitting
                        Bm
the light through the window frame.
                    Em
The shapes it makes are always warmer,
                        G
always brighter than the rest of what comes
C       Em D
through.

Em                      E             C
Some days I swear I can hear you sing to me
              Bm
or whisper my name in the slightest way.
Am
It’s like the warmest light now laid across
   A       C                         D
my bedroom floor is somehow actually you and

Not just sunlight.

Em
I have the memory climb down the balcony.
D
I put a flower on the back of its dress.
     C
It’s probably best to forget it.

It’s probably best to let go.
  Em
I paint it the shade of where the skin and

the lip meet,
D
Only a moment after breaking the kiss.
    C
And I blur out everything else.

That’s how I choose to remember it.

Em
 Some nights are a lot like the days, I lay

awake too late, I watch the shadows casted
           A
Trace your shape. Those silver slivers on
    Am
the wall then on the bedsheets.
B
I hear your song in the trees. I finally fall
      Em
into rest.

Often later when I’m sleeping you show up in

my dreams.

Just doing simple things, like buying groceries.
A
And when I wake up I could swear you must’ve
          B
just left me

Like you got up to make breakfast or maybe just
D      Em
to get dressed.

D                 A
But the truth is, you were never there.
          E
You won’t ever be.
                  D                           Am
Sometimes I think I’m not either so what do I do
                     Bm
When every day still seems to start and end with
E
you?
                         D              Am
And you won’t ever know, you won’t ever see,
                          F#m
How much your ghost since then has been defining me.

A                  D
I leave the memory up atop the balcony.
Em
I tear this flower from the back of the dress.
     A                D                          Em
It’s best this time, I bet, to just forget and let go.

Paint it the shade of where the lip bleeds and blur

it out.

I blur out everything else, just blur out everything

else.
C                     Bm
And let go, and let go, and let go.

E A

C                Bm     G      E
Everybody has to let go someday
     C           Bm     A
Everybody has to let go.

                    C         Bm G
I wonder when I will. I wonder.

E                       C
But if I still hear you singing in every city
Em
I meet
            Am      C              E
After I blur it all out, our every memory, if

                        C                E
You never fade with the days, your shape still
            Em
haunting me then,
                       Cm
Should I not just sing along?
C             D         E
Should I not just sing along?

D       A            B                   E
 I will sing sweetly hope that the notes change
                        D
but I do not need it to happen.

I’m not resigned to it.
A                         F#m
And If they never do I’ll sing your name in
      A
every line.
                           D
Just like I did throughout this.
                      Em
Just like I’ve always done.

In every gun, the empty church, and every
         A
tortured son.
                    D
In all those giving up.
                    Em
In all those giving in.

Until I die I will sing our names in unison.

A                  D
Until I die I will sing our names in unison.
