Intro: C Am F G
C Am
This city is haunted by the ghost of failure, I am one and you are one
F
We've spent this whole time on the run from a lie that I told
G
That you closed your eyes and you chose to believe
C
So now you ask me for honesty, Just take a second, breathe
Am
I'm not good enough for you, you were never good enough to me
F G
No one's ever good enough to be, or have something so naïve
C
When I broke my hand on your car, when you told me you were leavin'
Am
And I begged for your forgiveness, my broken fingers bleedin'
F G
My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me
Em Am C Em
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
C Em Am C
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
C G F C
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins
G F G C
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
C Am F G
C
Now I picture you like snowflakes, like desperate pouring rain
Am
Like the beating of the drum in the parade of the insane
F
You are the whisper in my ear, when I wake and no one's here
G
There's just the echo of your name
C
So now you ask me for honesty, I close my eyes, breathe,
Am
I'm the one who always is so ready to leave
F
To be a distant memory
G
To be a ship disappearing in the sea
C
And I crashed upon your rocks when I heard your voice singing
Am
And I begged for your love with my busted ears ringing
F
My hopeful heart repeating
G
You are more than the promise of the sea
Em Am C Em
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
C Em Am C
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
C G F C
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast the cursed ruins
G F G C
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
