Intro (x2): Bm D G Gb

Verse 1:
Bm      D              G         Gb
On the broken backs of all the words we spared
Bm           D               G          Gb
Like little soldiers in the trenches
Bm      D                     G       Gb
It was a march we made towards ruin and despair
Bm          D             G
But we held hands all the while

Verse 2:
Bm          D                G           Gb
Beneath the table you would offer up my bones
Bm       D             G          Gb
And all the dogs would lick your fingers
Bm            D                  G               Gb
And I dragged you through every room inside our home
Bm      D                G
But you still held me at night

I swear, I swear

It was an honest loss

Verse 3:
Bm
Now the aftermath will ring with songs you've sung

All of our words sent home in boxes

I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown
                    G
But you were already gone
