G D Em D A
D D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
D F#m D
Someone sucked the life out of the room
G D Em
When that someone said goodbye much too soon
I'd hate for you to love me
A D Bm
'Cause you saw me out with someone who you read about in the news
G F#m Em D A D D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
But I guess that's what this world is coming to
D F#m D
I watched as your wrists began to bruise
G F#m Em
Threading ribbons, weaving patterns, beautiful and blue
A
All your late nights came to life and then died upon just one dislike
D Bm
Never mind all the people that you moved
G F#m Em D A D D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
But I guess that's what this world is coming to
D G
So let's get high here in the moonlight
Em A
Even the stars go right over our heads
D G
I think I'm gonna shine in the afterlife
Em A
Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead
D G
So let's get high in the moonlight
Em A
Even the stars go right over our heads
D G
I know I'm gonna shine here in the afterlife
Em A
Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead
D F#m
You know that I can't stop thinking about you
G D Em
You're the source of everything I do
Em
You brought faith to songs I sing
A
So I went and bought a diamond ring
D Bm D
I wanna spend each night here with you
Em
Yeah you took everything I was
A Bm
And you turned it into something I've become
D Bm D
Good god, what's a boy to do'
G F#m Em D A
But I guess that's what this world
G Em D A
Oh I guess that's what this world
G D Em D A Bm A E
No I guess that's what this world is, is coming to
G F#m Em D A D D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
No I guess that's what my life is, is coming to
