[Verse]
F7
Waste a month, waste a year
Waste the time
you could've been here
F7
Count the debt, count the tears
Count the truths
and all of my fears
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I didn't want to be cynical
Passing place for the soul
Am
You were never predictable
Now I need to let it go
[Verse]
F7
Found the song, played it back
Heard your voice
under the feedback
F7
Found a tape that was blank
Saw your face fading into black
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I know love is delusional
And I hate when I'm wrong
Am
Yours was never conditional
And now I need to get it gone
[Chorus]
F7
No one еver warns ya
Dmadd9
You'll die in California
C
Falling in a dream,
you lеt, let go
Am
No one ever seems to say, say so
F7
No one ever tells ya
Dmadd9
There's freedom in the failure
C
Dying in a dream feels like home
Am
No one ever seems
to say, say so
[Instrumental]
F7 Dmadd9 C Am
[Verse]
C
Close my eyes, close my heart
Close the book
I never meant to start
F7
Say your name in the dark
No one said it would
be this hard
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I didn't go to the funeral
Heard you cry on the phone
Am
Your voice was so beautiful
And now
I need to let it go
[Chorus]
F7
No one ever warns ya
Dmadd9
You'll die in California
C
Falling in a dream,
you let, let go
Am
No one ever seems to say, say so
F
No one ever tells ya
Dmadd9
There's freedom in the failure
C
Dying in a dream feels like home
Am
No one ever seems
to say, say so

God bless this mess that
we made ourselves

Pull me into the screen

God bless this mess that
we made for ourselves
