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