Verse 1:
Bm           A
  We gather here, we line up
 Gbm                      G
Weeping in a sunlit room
    Bm           A     Gbm                      G
And   if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too
 Bm                  A
Even on my worst day,  did I deserve babe
Gbm                   G
   All the hell you gave me
Bm
  'Cause I loved you
A                   Gbm                  G
  I swear I loved you   'til my dying day

Chorus:
D    Em           Bm          G                D      Em
        I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
                Bm          G       D         Em
And you're the hero flying around saving face
            Bm               G                  D
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake
            Em               Bm
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            G
Look at how my tears ricochet

Verse 2:
Bm           A       Gbm                            G
  We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Bm         A      Gbm                        G
  Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
       Bm                   A
  You know I didn't want to   have to haunt you
Gbm                        G
  But what a ghostly scene
Bm                        A                Gbm             G
  You wear the same jewels  that I gave you  as you bury me
 
Chorus:
D    Em           Bm          G                D     Em
        I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
                 Bm                 G       D           Em
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I   was brave
            Bm               G                  D
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake
            Em               Bm
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            G
Look at how my tears ricochet
 
Bridge:
D              Em             Bm
  And I can go anywhere I want
         G                 D
Anywhere I want, just not home
                 Em                       Bm
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
                     G               D
But you would still miss me in your bones
           Em            Bm            G                 D
And I still  talk to you    -When I'm screaming at the sky-
                  Em              Bm              G
And when you can't sleep at night  -You hear my stolen lullabies-
 
Chorus:
          Bm          G                D     Em
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
            Bm                G         D          Em
And so the battleships will sink beneath  the waves
            Bm              G                   D
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
              Em               Bm
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
                      G
You turned into your worst fears
D                          Em                   Bm
  And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain,
                  G
Crossing out the good years
           D              Em               Bm
And you're    cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            G
Look at how my tears ricochet
