Cm Bb Ab Eb

 

 

[Verse 1]

 

Cm                Bb                         Ab            Eb

Saturday sunset-- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go

Cm                   Bb                       Ab                   Eb

Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying 'I don’t want you to go'

Cm                           Bb                        Ab         Eb

You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo

           Cm                       Bb                           Ab                 Eb

You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’

 

 

[Verse 2]

 

Cm                                Bb                          Ab                      Eb

My mother said the younger me was a 'Pretending' prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed

Cm                                       Bb                           Ab

Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say

                     Ab

I’m okay but answer this babe:

Cm                 Bb                                  Ab              Eb

How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—

Cm                              Bb                       Ab                   Eb

I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way

 

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

 

Fm

But heaven denied

        Ab

Destiny decried

Fm

Something beautiful died

    Ab

too soon

 

 

[Chorus]

 

                Eb

But I’m letting gooooooooo

           Cm

I’m givin’ up the ghost

                 Ab

But don’t get me wrong

             Ab

I’ll always love you that’s why

                 Bb

I wrote you this very last song

                Eb               Cm

I guess this is where we say goodbye

                Ab

I know I’ll be alright

                Bb

Someday I’ll be fine

             Cm

but just not tonight

 

 

[Verse 3]

 

Cm                      Bb                       Ab                      Eb

Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees

     Cm                   Bb                      Ab                       Eb

But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate

Cm                          Bb                      Ab              Eb

Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin' on great love affairs

Cm                                     Bb                              Ab           Eb

'cause now my heart’s home -- all I’ve known -- is long gone and 10 thousand miles away

 

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

 

            E      G  Ab  Bb

And I’m not okay

 

 

[Chorus]

 

                Eb

But I’m letting gooooooooo

           Cm

I’m givin’ up the ghost

                 Ab

But don’t get me wrong

             Ab

I’ll always love you that’s why

                 Bb

I wrote you this very last song

                Eb               Cm

I guess this is where we say goodbye

                Ab

I know I’ll be alright

       N.C.

But just not-

 

 

[Bridge]

 

Cm                                        Bb                          Ab       Eb

Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago

        Eb

and the first time

Cm                                         Bb                                 Ab           Eb

I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones

     Eb

Now what do you do when

     Cm                                                       Bb

Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void is all

                 Ab                  Eb

you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?

               Cm

I have so many questions

Bb                                          Ab

But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine

 

 

[Chorus]

 

                Eb

and I’m letting go

           Cm

I’m givin’ up your ghost

               Ab

It’s come to a close

                                Bb

I marked the end with this last song I wrote

 

 

[Outro]

 

            Eb

I’m letting go

            Cm

This is the last falsetto

                   Am     Bb          Eb

I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
