I saw in my mind
Ferry lights through the mist
E
I kept calm and carried
The weight of the rift
E
Pulled him in tighter
A
Each time he was drifting away
D
My spine split from carrying
Us up the hill
E
Wet through my clothes
Weary bones caught the chill
E
I stopped trying to make him laugh
A
Stopped trying to drill the safe

And you say I abandoned the ship

But I was going down with it

My white knuckle dying grip

Holding tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said

It isn't right to be scared

Every day-old love affair
A
Every breath feels like rarest air

When you're not sure if he wants to be there

How much tragedy

Just how low did you

You swore that you loved me
But where were the clues?
E
I died on the altar
Waiting for the proof
E
You sacrificed us to the
A
Gods of your bluest days

And I'm just getting color back
E
Into my face
E
I'm just mad as hell
A
'Cause I loved this place for

So long, Lon_don

Had a good run
Bm A F#m E
A moment of warm sun

Stitches undone

Two graves, one gun
