Tone [G]
Capo on 2nd fret
SLL intro:
[C] [Am] [D] [G]
SLL verse:
I [C]saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
I [Am]kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
[D]Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting [G]away
My [C]spine split from carrying us up the hill
[Am]Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I [D]stopped trying to make him laugh
Stopped trying to drill the [G]safe
SLL pre-chorus:
Thinkin, [C]how much sad did you[Am]you think I had
[D] Did you think I had in me?
[G] Oh, the tragedy ...
SLL chorus:
[Am]So [C]long, [G]Lon[D]London
[Am]You'll [C]find [G]some[D]someone ...
[C] [G] [D]
TSMWEL verse:
[C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D]
Was any of it true?
[C]Gazing [G]at me s[D]starry-eyed
In your Je[C]Jehovah's [G]Witness [D]suit
[C]Who the [G]fuck was [D]that guy?
You [C]tried to [G]buy some [D]pills
[C]From a [G]friend of [D]friends of mine
[C]They just [G]ghosted [D]you
Now [C]you know [G]what it [D]feels like
TSMWEL chorus:
[C] And I don't even [G]want you back, I just [D]want to know
[C] If rusting my [G]sparkling summer was the [D]goal
[C] And I don't miss [G]what we had, but could [D]someone give
[C] A message to the [G]smallest man who [D]ever lived?
[D]
SLL bridge:
And you [Em]say I abandoned the ship
But I was [G]going down with it
My white [D]knuckle dying grip
Holding [Am]tight to your quiet resentment and
My friends said [Em]it isn't right to be scared
Every [G]day of a love affair
Every [D]breath feels like rarest air
When you're not [Am]sure if he wants to be there
[Em] So how much sad did you [G]think I had,
Did you[D]you think I had in [Am]me?
How much tragedy?[Em]tragedy?
Just how low did you[G]you think I'd go?
Before I'd[D]I'd self-implode
Before I'd[Am]I'd have to go be free
SLL verse 2:
You [C]swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
I [Am]died on the altar waiting for the proof
You [D]sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest [G]days
And I'm [C]just getting color back [Am]into my face
I'm [D]just mad as hell cause I [G]loved this place
SLL chorus:
For [Am]so [C]long, [G]Lon[D]London
[Am]Had [C]a [G]good [D]run
A [Am]mom[C]moment of [G]warm[D]warm sun
But [Am]I'm [C]not [G]the [D]one
[Am]So [C]long, [G]Lon[D]London
[Am]Stit[C]Stitches [G]un[D]undone
[Am]Two [C]graves, [G]one [D]gun
[Am]You'll [C]find [G]some[D]someone ...
[D]
TSMWEL bridge:
Were you sent by someone[G]someone who wanted me dead?[Em]dead?
Did you sleep with a [D]gun underneath our [C]bed?
Were you writing a [G]book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?[Em]spy?
In fifty years, will [D]all this be declassi[C]declassified?
And you'll confess why you [G]did it
And I'll say, "Good [Em]riddance"
'Cause it wasn't [D]sexy once it wasn't for[C]forbidden
I would've died for your sins[G]sins
Instead, I just died inside[Em]inside
And you deserve [D]prison, but you won't get [C]time
You'll slide into [G]inboxes and slip through the [Em]bars
You crashed my [D]party and your rental [C]car
You said normal girls were [G]boring
But you were gone by the [Em]morning
You kicked out the [D]stage lights
But you're still per[C]performing
And in plain sight you [G]hid
Outro:
But you are what you [Em]did
And I'll forget you[D]you, but I'll never forgive [C]
The smallest man who ever [G]lived
