Capo 2
[Verse]
C Dadd11 G C
I saw a ghost when I was seventeen
Dadd11 Em9
And she left a scar down in my throat
C Dadd11 G C
We were so in love when you were eighteen
Dadd11 Em9
And I would've tattooed your name on my face
C Dadd11 G C
Your body was my canvas through our sleepless nights
Dadd11 Em9
And I painted roses on your chest
C Dadd11 G C
You blew your white smoke right into my lungs
C Dadd11 Em9
So I would never forget your name
[Chorus]
G D Cmaj7
And dear I would give you everything
Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7
Just to feel your heart beat on my chest oh one last time
G D Cmaj7
And dear, let the silence take you home
Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7 Dadd11 G
And stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones
[Verse]
C Dadd11 G C
I remember your face when I said I'd move away
Dadd11 Em9
And I stayed up to watch you sleep
C Dadd11 G C
With blackened dreadlocks on your pillowcase
C Dadd11 Em9
And blood red lips as morning grew
C Dadd11 G C
We were gonna get married and have kids some day
C Dadd11 Em9
I wish I still were so naive
C Dadd11 G G/B C
We drove out in the rain to find all we'd been looking for
C Dadd11 Em9
But all we found was someone else
[Chorus]
G D Cmaj7
And dear I would never be scared again
Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7
If you would hold my hand and rest your lips on my head
G D Cmaj7
Dear, it's been years and I guess we've grown
Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7 Dadd11
But stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones
[Bridge]
G G/F# Em7
I ran my fingers down your back
Cmaj7 Dadd11
As the sunlight covered the blinds
G G/F# Em7
We rolled around in the roses
Cmaj7 Dadd11
And you whispered you'd never die
[Chorus]
G D Cmaj7
And dear I think I've called too many times
Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7
But it's so damn hard to be left here with my blood full of wine
G D Cmaj7
Dear, I have never been so alone
Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7 Dadd11 G
Please stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones
