Intro

    
   

Verse 1

You say you heard every word, but I watched you turn away
Your eyes grew colder than winter
"Love is so intrusive," I thought I heard you say
And laugh so unconvincingly

Chorus 1

(Famous last words) Famous last words,
"I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute"

Verse 2

Narrow is the road and too high a price to pay
When loneliness is such a sanctuary.
Empty are the musings and wasted are the days
You said you were only waiting

Chorus 2

(Famous last words) And famous last words,
"I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute" but I won't forget
Famous last words
If tomorrow never comes, will I ever know that I was in love? 
I was in love  
In love

N.C. F#m D E
You say you heard every word, I watched you turn away
You said you were only waiting

Chorus 3

(Famous last words) And famous last words,
"I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute" and I won't forget
Famous last words
If tomorrow never comes, will I ever know that I was in love? 
That I was in love 
And famous last words,
"I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute"
