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

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

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