Verse 1:
C majorC        DmDm    A minorAm   FF
I carved my name into your ribcage
C majorC         DmDm       A minorAm  FF
We talked of lands away from this cage
     C majorC                      DmDm   A minorAm  FF
You said, don’t fret love, someday I’ll be my own man
I'll be free
            FF
Oh, but darling did you mean
         G+G       C majorC
Darling, did you mean free from me?

C majorC
You promised home
  DmDm       A minorAm   FF
The kind I'd never known, oh
       C majorC
But here we are, skin and flesh and beating hearts
    DmDm         A minorAm         FF
and I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wrong
      C majorC                        DmDm          A minorAm
You said, “Let's make ourselves our very own brigade, this love our shield, our blade”
            FF             G+G
Oh, but darling do you see the cuts from which I bleed?
        C majorC
It’s me you’ve slain


Chorus:
FF             G+G                 C majorC
I didn’t obliterate these walls for you to come and raid my home
FF
And here you are right next to me
G+G                C majorC
Ironically
I've never felt more alone



Verse :
C majorC       DmDm      A minorAm    FF
I fell for you faster than I fell apart
   C majorC                       FF
And I guess I'm the one to blame for letting myself fall too hard
FF                              G+G       C majorC
I ripped my heart out and put it in your hands in hopes that we’d put up a fight
     FF              G+G                C majorC
How paradoxical, since now all I can think about is when will we stop trying
Ooh
C majorC        A minorAm
Oooh, how do we stay afloat
    FF   G+G  C majorC
When do I let go?

    C majorC                  C/BC/B
All you do is blindside me, it's hard to be brave
       A minorAm                    Am/GAm/G
But when the night cuts into the day, it’s your love I crave
 FF                 G+G
I must’ve thanked my lucky stars too much
C majorC
they left me sitting in too much dust

  C majorC                   C/BC/B
You know all my dreams you were one, so it seemed
    A minorAm                  Am/GAm/G
And I love you but with you it's heartache I breathe
  FF              G+G             C majorC
You gave it your all, just with everything you took from me

C majorC
Oh, my love
A minorAm
Is this the end for us?
FF
Maybe we’ve had enough
