Capo : fret 5
G
I carved my name..
EmC
into your ribcage..
G
we talked of lands..
-AmEmC
away from this cage..
G
you said, "don't fret love,
someday I'll be my own man,
-AmEm
I'll be free.."
C
oh, but darling did you mean..
D
darling, did you mean..
G
free from me..?
G
you promised home..
EmC
the kind I'd never known, ooh..
G
but here we are,
skin and flesh and beating hearts
C
and I'm wondering what the hell
I'm doing wrong..
G
you said, "let's make ourselves
our very own brigade,
-AmEm
this love our shield, our blade.."
C
oh, but darling do you see..
D
the cuts from which I bleed..?
G
it's me you've slain..
CD
I didn't obliterate these walls for you
G
to come and raid my home..
C
and here you are right next to me
DG
ironically, I've never felt more alone..
G
I fell for you..
EmC
faster than I fell apart.. hmm..
G
and I guess I'm the one to blame..
C
for letting myself fall too hard..
C
I ripped my heart out
and put it in your hands
G
in hopes that we'd put up a fight..
hmm..
C
how paradoxical, since now
D
all I can think about is
G
when will we stop trying.. oooh..
GEm
oooh.. how do we stay.. afloat..?
CDG
when do i.. let go..?
G
all you do is blindside me,
it's hard to be brave
Em
but when the night cuts into the day,
it's your love I crave
C
I must've thanked
D
my lucky stars too much,
G
they left me sitting in too much dust..
hmm ooh..
G
you know all my dreams
you were one, so it seemed
Em
and I love you but with you
it's heartache I breathe
C
you gave it your all just
DG
with everything you took from me..
G
oh, my love..
Em
is this the end for us..?
CD
maybe we've had enough
