Capo 3
Beginner Friendly
[D] Salt air, [G] and the rust on your [Em] door
I never needed [A] anything more
[D] Whispers [G] of "Are you [Em] sure?"
"Never have I [A] ever before"
But [D] I can see us lost in the memory
[G] August slipped away into a moment in [Em] time
'Cause it was [A] never mine
And [D] I can see us twisted in bedsheets
[G] August sipped away like a bottle of [Em] wine
'Cause you were never [A] mine
[D] Your back [G] beneath the sun [Em]
Wishin' I could [A] write my name on it
[D] Will you call [G] when you're back at school? [Em]
I remember [A] thinkin' I had you
But [D] I can see us lost in the memory
[G] August slipped away into a moment in time [Em]
'Cause it was never [A] mine
And [D] I can see us twisted in bedsheets
[G] August sipped away like a bottle of [Em] wine
'Cause you were never [A] mine
[D] [G] [Em] [A]
[D]'Cause you were never [G]mine
Never [Em]mine
But do you [A]remember
[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [G]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Em]Back when I was livin' for
the hope of it all, for the [A]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the [D]mall"
[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [G]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Em]Back when I was livin' for the hope
of it all, for the [A]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the [D]mall"
[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [G]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Em]Back when I was livin' for the [A]hope
of it all (For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
For the [D]hope of it all, for the [G]hope of it all
(For the [Em]hope of it all, for the [A]hope of it all)
[D] [G] [Em] [A]
And you wanna [G]scream
[G]Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
[Em]Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
[C]You showed me colors you [Bm]know I can't see with [D]anyone else
[G]Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
[Em]Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
[C]You taught me a secret [Bm]
language I can't speak with [D]anyone else
And you [Em]know [G]damn [C]well
For you, I would [D]ruin myself
[G]A million little times
[G] [Em] [C] [Bm]
[G] [D] [Bm] [C]
[Em] [D] [Bm] [C]
[Em] We gather [D]here, we line up
[Bm]Weeping in a sunlit room [C]
And [Em] if I'm on f[D]ire, y[Bm]ou'll be made of ashes t[C]oo
[Em]Even on my worst [D]day, did I deserve babe
[Bm] All the hell you [C]gave me
[Em] 'Cause I loved you
[D] I swear I [Bm]loved you 'til my dying [C]day
[G] [Am] I didn't h[Em]ave it in my[C]self to go with g[G]race [Am]
And you're the h[Em]ero flying a[C]round sa[G]ving face [Am]
And if I'm [Em]dead to you, why [C]are you at the wake [G]
Cursing my [Am]name, wishing I [Em]stayed
Look at how [C]my tears ricochet
[G] [Am] [Em] [C]
[Em] We gather s[D]tones, n[Bm]ever knowing what they'll mean[C]
[Em] Some to t[D]hrow, s[Bm]ome to make a diamond ring[C]
You [Em]know I didn't want to [D] have to haunt you
[Bm] But what a ghostly [C]scene
[Em] You wear the same jewels[D] that I gave you[Bm] as you bury m[C]e
[G] [Am] I didn't h[Em]ave it in my[C]self to go with g[G]race [Am]
'Cause when I'd f[Em]ight, you used to t[C]ell me I[G] was brave[Am]
And if I'm [Em]dead to you, why [C]are you at the wake [G]
Cursing my [Am]name, wishing I [Em]stayed
Look at how [C]my tears ricochet
[G] And I can go [Am]anywhere I [Em]want
Anywhere [C]I want, just not [G]home
And you can aim [Am]for my heart, go for [Em]blood
But you would still [C]miss me in your [G]bones
And I [Am]still talk to you [Em] (When I'm s[C]creaming at the sk[G]y)
And when you [Am]can't sleep at night [Em] (You hear my [C]stolen lullabies)
I didn't h[Em]ave it in my[C]self to go with g[G]race [Am]
And so the b[Em]attleships will si[C]nk beneath[G] the waves[Am]
You had to k[Em]ill me, but it k[C]illed you just the s[G]ame
Cursing my [Am]name, wishing I [Em]stayed
You turned into your [C]worst fears
[G] And you're tossing out [Am]blame, drunk on this [Em]pain,
Crossing out the [C]good years
And you're [G] cursing my [Am]name, wishing I [Em]stayed
Look at how [C]my tears ricochet
[G] [Am] [Em] [C]
