Intro: C
C G
You said: Who are we fooling?
Am
I guess that you gave up
F G
On all that I am and all that I'm not
C
'Cause I'm fucking useless
G
And full of excuses
Am
I guess that you cut free
F G
From all that we are and will never be
Am Em F G
Now the flowers are dead like the hearts in our chest
Am Em F
And I'm hanging my head 'cause I'm trying to forget
Dm G
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled
C G Am
So this is where we ended up
F C
All of those years that I wasted for love
G Am
And here it is forevermore
F Am
The house is on fire, and I can't find the door
Am7M Am7
If I had the heart to start it again
Am6 F
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
Fm
Say: You ain't gonna like how this ends
C
You know if we went back
G
To fix what we once had
Am
There'd still be no chance
F G
For you and me 'cause inevitably
Am Em F G
All the flowers would die and the tears from your eyes
Am Em F
Would come as no surprise as I tried to forget
Dm G
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled
C G Am
So this is where we ended up

All of those years that I wasted for love
G Am
And here it is forevermore

The house is on fire, and I can't find the door

I'm stuck here just trying to forget

How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled
