Intro: C  Am  F  G 


    C                                              Am 
This city is haunted by the ghost of failure, I am one and you are one 
                                              F 
We've spent this whole time on the run from a lie that I told 
                                            G 
That you closed your eyes and you chose to believe 
   
           C 
So now you ask me for honesty, Just take a second, breathe 
        Am 
I'm not good enough for you, you were never good enough to me 
              F                                         G 
No one's ever good enough to be, or have something so naïve 

                C 
When I broke my hand on your car, when you told me you were leavin' 
      Am 
And I begged for your forgiveness, my broken fingers bleedin' 
   F                                                  G 
My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me 

                    Em          Am               C                Em 
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room 
      C          Em              Am            C 
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon 
          C          G                 F                    C 
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins 
        G                F   G       C 
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom 

C  Am  F  G 

      C 
Now I picture you like snowflakes, like desperate pouring rain 
         Am 
Like the beating of the drum in the parade of the insane 
            F 
You are the whisper in my ear, when I wake and no one's here 
                 G 
There's just the echo of your name 

           C 
So now you ask me for honesty, I close my eyes, breathe, 
        Am 
I'm the one who always is so ready to leave 
        F 
To be a distant memory 
                                 G 
To be a ship disappearing in the sea 

      C 
And I crashed upon your rocks when I heard your voice singing 
      Am 
And I begged for your love with my busted ears ringing 
   F 
My hopeful heart repeating 
                                     G 
You are more than the promise of the sea 

                   Em          Am               C                Em 
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room 
      C          Em              Am            C 
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon 
          C          G                 F                    C 
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast the cursed ruins 
        G                F   G       C 
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
