Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

F C G

We gather here, we line up weepin’ in a sunlit room

F

And if I’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes too

C G

Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

All the hell you gave me?

F

‘Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

C

‘Til my dying day

Chorus

F C

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

G

And you’re the hero flying around, saving face

F

And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?

C

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

Verse 2

F C

We gather stones, never knowing what they’ll mean

G

Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

F

You know I didn’t want to have to haunt you

C

But what a ghostly scene

You wear the same jewels that I gave you

G

As you bury me

Chorus

F C

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

G

And you’re the hero flying around, saving face

F

And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?

C

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

Bridge

F C

And I can go anywhere I want

G F

Anywhere I want, just not home

C

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

G

But you would still miss me in your bones

F

And I still talk to you (when I’m screaming at the sky)

C

And when you can’t sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)

Chorus

F C

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

G

And you’re the hero flying around, saving face

F

And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?

C

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

Outro

F C

And I still talk to you (when I’m screaming at the sky)

G

And when you can’t sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)
