Am G Em F
We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room
Am G Em F
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
Am G Em
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
F
All the hell you gave me?
Am G
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
Em F C
'Til my dying day
Dm Am F C
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Dm Am F C
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
Dm Am F C
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Dm Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
Look at how my tears ricochet
( C Dm Am F )
Am G Em F
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Am G Em F
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
Am G
You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
Em F
But what a ghostly scene
Am G
You wear the same jewels that I gave you
Em F C
As you bury me
Dm Am F C
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Dm Am F C
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
Dm Am F C
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Dm Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
Look at how my tears ricochet
C Dm
And I can go anywhere I want
Am F
Anywhere I want, just not home
C Dm
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
Am F
But you would still miss me in your bones
C Dm Am F
And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
C Dm Am F
And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)
C Dm Am F C
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Dm Am F C
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
Dm Am F
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
C Dm Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
You turned into your worst fears
C Dm Am
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
F
Crossing out the good years
C Dm Am
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
Look at how my tears ricochet
