[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

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
