[Verse 1]
Am G
..We gather here, we line up
Em F
Weeping in a sunlit room
Am
An...d
G
if I'm on fire
Em F
you'll be made of ashes too
Am
Even on my worst day,
G
did I deserve babe
Em F
All the hell you gave me
Am
..Cause I loved you
G
I swear I loved you
Em F
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
[Instrumental]
C Dm Am F
..................
[Verse 2]
Am G
..We gather stones,
Em F
never knowing what they'll mean
Am G
..Some to throw,
Em F
some to make a diamond ring
Am
You know I didn't want to
G
have to haunt you
Em F
But what a ghostly scene
Am
You wear the same jewels
G
that I gave you
Em F
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)
[Last Chorus]
C Dm 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
