[Intro]
C G Em F
Am G Em F
Am G Em F
[Verse 1]
Am G
We gather here, we line up
Em F
Weeping in a sunlit room
Am G Em F
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too
Am G
Even on my worst day, did I deserve babe
Em F
All the hell you gave me
Am
'Cause I loved you
G Em F
I swear I loved you 'til my dying day
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F C Dm
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Am F C Dm
And you're the hero flying around saving face
Am F C
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake
Dm Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Music]
C Dm Am F
[Verse 2]
Am G Em F
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Am G Em F
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
Am G
You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
Em F
But what a ghostly scene
Am G Em F
You wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F C Dm
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Am F C Dm
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
Am F C
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake
Dm Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Bridge]
C Dm Am
And I can go anywhere I want
F C
Anywhere I want, just not home
Dm Am
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
F C
But you would still miss me in your bones
Dm Am F C
And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
Dm Am F
And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)
[Chorus]
Am F C Dm
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Am F C Dm
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
Am F C
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Dm Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
You turned into your worst fears
C Dm Am
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain,
F
Crossing out the good years
C Dm Am
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
F
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Outro]
C Dm Am F
C Dm Am F
C Dm Am F
