Tone: [Am]
(Intro)
[C] [G] [Em] [F]
[Am] [G] [Em] [F]
(Verse 1)
[Am] We gather h[G]here, we line up
W[Em]Weeping in a sunlit room [F]
And [Am] if I'm on f[G]ire, y[Em]ou'll be made of ashes t[F]oo
E[Am]Even on my worst day,[G]day, did I deserve babe
[Em] All the hell you g[F]gave me
[Am] 'Cause I loved you
[G] I swear I loved yo[Em]loved you 'til my dying da[F]day
(Chorus)
[C] [Dm] I didn't h[Am]ave it in my[F]self to go with g[C]race [Dm]
And you're the h[Am]ero flying a[F]round sa[C]ving face [Dm]
And if I'm d[Am]dead to you, why a[F]are you at the wake [C]
Cursing my n[Dm]name, wishing I st[Am]stayed
Look at how [F]my tears ricochet
(Instrumental)
[C] [Dm] [Am] [F]
(Verse 2)
[Am] We gather s[G]tones, n[Em]ever knowing what they'll mean[F]
[Am] Some to t[G]hrow, s[Em]ome to make a diamond ring[F]
You k[Am]know I didn't want to [G] have to haunt you
[Em] But what a ghostly scene[F]scene
[Am] You wear the same jewels[G] that I gave you[Em] as you bury m[F]e
(Chorus)
[C] [Dm] I didn't h[Am]ave it in my[F]self to go with g[C]race [Dm]
'Cause when I'd f[Am]ight, you used to t[F]ell me I[C] was brave[Dm]
And if I'm d[Am]dead to you, why a[F]are you at the wake [C]
Cursing my n[Dm]name, wishing I st[Am]stayed
Look at how [F]my tears ricochet
(Bridge)
[C] And I can go [Dm]anywhere I want[Am]want
Anywhere [F]I want, just not h[C]home
And you can aim f[Dm]for my heart, go for blood[Am]blood
But you would still m[F]miss me in your b[C]bones
And I still[Dm]still talk to you [Am] (When I'm s[F]creaming at the sk[C]y)
And when you can't[Dm]can't sleep at night [Am] (You hear my st[F]stolen lullabies)
(Final Chorus)
I didn't h[Am]ave it in my[F]self to go with g[C]race [Dm]
And so the b[Am]attleships will si[F]nk beneath[C] the waves[Dm]
You had to k[Am]ill me, but it k[F]illed you just the s[C]ame
Cursing my nam[Dm]name, wishing I stay[Am]stayed
You turned into your w[F]worst fears
[C] And you're tossing out bl[Dm]blame, drunk on this pa[Am]pain,
Crossing out the g[F]good years
And you're [C] cursing my n[Dm]name, wishing I st[Am]stayed
Look at how [F]my tears ricochet
(Outro)
[C] [Dm] [Am] [F]
