Intro

    
Am G Em F x2

Verse 1

We gather here, we line up
Weeping in a sunlit room 
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve babe
All the hell you gave me
'Cause I loved you
I swear I loved you 'til my dying day

Chorus

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 
And you're the hero flying around saving face 
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake 
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet

Instrumental

    

Verse 2

We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean 
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring 
You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
But what a ghostly scene 
You wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me

Chorus

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave 
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake 
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet

Bridge

And I can go anywhere I want 
Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood 
But you would still miss me in your bones
And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)

Final Chorus

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves 
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain,
Crossing out the good years
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet

C Dm Am F x3
