C minorCm Bb majorBb AbAb Eb MajorEb


Verse 1:

C minorCm        Bb majorBb             AbAb      Eb MajorEb
Saturday sunset-- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
C minorCm          Bb majorBb            AbAb          Eb MajorEb
Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying 'I don’t want you to go'
C minorCm              Bb majorBb            AbAb     Eb MajorEb
You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
      C minorCm            Bb majorBb              AbAb         Eb MajorEb
You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’

Verse 2:

C minorCm                Bb majorBb             AbAb           Eb MajorEb
My mother said the younger me was a 'Pretending' prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
C minorCm                    Bb majorBb              AbAb
Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say
           AbAb
I’m okay but answer this babe:
C minorCm         Bb majorBb                 AbAb       Eb MajorEb
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—
C minorCm               Bb majorBb            AbAb          Eb MajorEb
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way


Pre-Chorus 1:

F minorFm
But heaven denied
    AbAb
Destiny decried
F minorFm
Something beautiful died
  AbAb
too soon


Chorus:

        Eb MajorEb
But I’m letting gooooooooo
      C minorCm
I’m givin’ up the ghost
         AbAb
But don’t get me wrong
       AbAb
I’ll always love you that’s why
         Bb majorBb
I wrote you this very last song
        Eb MajorEb        C minorCm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
        AbAb
I know I’ll be alright
        Bb majorBb
Someday I’ll be fine
       C minorCm
but just not tonight

Verse 3:

C minorCm           Bb majorBb            AbAb           Eb MajorEb
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees
   C minorCm          Bb majorBb           AbAb            Eb MajorEb
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate
C minorCm             Bb majorBb           AbAb       Eb MajorEb
Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
C minorCm                   Bb majorBb               AbAb      Eb MajorEb
'cause now my heart’s home -- all I’ve known -- is long gone and 10 thousand miles away


Pre-Chorus 2:

      E MajorE   G+G AbAb Bb majorBb
And I’m not okay


Chorus:

        Eb MajorEb
But I’m letting gooooooooo
      C minorCm
I’m givin’ up the ghost
         AbAb
But don’t get me wrong
       AbAb
I’ll always love you that’s why
         Bb majorBb
I wrote you this very last song
        Eb MajorEb        C minorCm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
        AbAb
I know I’ll be alright
    N.C.
But just not-


Bridge:

C minorCm                    Bb majorBb             AbAb    Eb MajorEb
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
    Eb MajorEb
and the first time
C minorCm                     Bb majorBb                 AbAb      Eb MajorEb
I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones
   Eb MajorEb
Now what do you do when
   C minorCm                            Bb majorBb
Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void is all
         AbAb         Eb MajorEb
you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
        C minorCm
I have so many questions
Bb majorBb                     AbAb
But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine


Chorus:

        Eb MajorEb
and I’m letting go
      C minorCm
I’m givin’ up your ghost
        AbAb
It’s come to a close
                Bb majorBb
I marked the end with this last song I wrote


Outro:

      Eb MajorEb
I’m letting go
      C minorCm
This is the last falsetto
          A minorAm   Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
