CAm 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 FG 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' FG My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me
AmGFC Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room AmGGC Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon AmGFC And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins GFGC For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
CAmFG
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
AmGFC Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room AmGGC Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon AmGFC And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins GFGC For the bride I'll never be, and the groom -End on C-
