Intro: Bbm Db Gbmaj7 Db

Verse 1:
Bbm
Saturday sunset
      Db                     Gbmaj7           Db
We're lying on my bed with five hours to go
Bbm                    Db  
Fingers entwined and so were our minds
         Gbmaj7               Db
Crying, "I don't want you to go"
    Bbm
You wiped away tears
        Db                          Gbmaj7       Db
But not fears under the still and clear indigo
          Bbm                        Db  
You said "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine
                       Gbmaj7            Db
You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
   Bbm                             Db  
My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
      Gbmaj7                       Db
Well, nothing then, much has changed
                    Bbm
'Cause while you're wolfing down liquor
   Db  
My soul, it gets sicker
        Gbmaj7
But I'm sticking to the screenplay
              Gbmaj7
Gotta say I'm okay But answer this, babe

Pre-Chorus:
Bbm                       Db  
How is it now that, somehow, you're a strangеr?
        Gbmaj7            Db
You were mine just yеsterday
  Bbm                          Db  
I pray the block in my airway dissipates
            Gbmaj7                  Db
And instead deters your airplane's way
             Eb
But heaven denied
           Gb
Destiny decried
                    Eb
Something beautiful died
    Gb
Too soon

Chorus:
                Db
But I'm letting go
           Bbm
I'm giving up the ghost
                Gb
But don't get me wrong
                                                 Ab
I'll always love you That's why I wrote you this very last song
                Db                Bbm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
                 Gb
I know I'll be alright
                 Ab
Someday, I'll be fine
                  Bbm   Db       Gbmaj7
But just not tonight -Ooh-

Verse 2:
Bbm                       Db  
Plunging into all kinds of diversions
           Gbmaj7                 Db
Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
    Bbm                    Db  
But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
       Gbmaj7                    Db
I see you're all that can intoxicate

Pre-Chorus:
Bbm
Oceans and engines
         Db                       Gbmaj7         Db
You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
      Bbm
Cause now my heart's home
          Db                          Gb               Db
All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
             Eb   Db
And I'm not okay

Chorus:
    Ab            Db
But I'm letting go
           Bbm
I'm giving up the ghost
                  Gb
But don't get me wrong
                                                 Ab
I'll always love you That's why I wrote you this very last song
                Db                Bbm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
               Gb
I know I'll be alright

But just not --

Bridge:
    Bbm                                   Db                            Gbmaj7      Db
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
                     Bbm                            
And the first time I learned real world superpowers 
          Db                                Gbmaj7          Db
lived in three words, they revitalize my fraying bones
                             Bbm
Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down You've lost all solid ground
      Db  
Both dreams and demons drowned And this void's all you've found
    Gbmaj7              Db
And doubts light it aglow
               Bbm7
I have so many questions
        Db  
But I'm pouring them into the ocean
        Gbmaj7
And I'm starting up my engine

Outro:
                Db
But I'm letting go
           Bbm
I'm giving up your ghost
                Gb
It's come to a close
                                Ab
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
            Db
I'm letting go
             Bbm                             Gb
This is the last falsetto I'll ever sing to you
    Gbm         Db
My great lost love
