# Intro: F  Dm  A#  C


    F                                              Dm
This city is haunted by the ghost of failure, I am one and you are one
                                              A#
We've spent this whole time on the run from a lie that I told
                                            C
That you closed your eyes and you chose to believe
  
           F
So now you ask me for honesty, Just take a second, breathe
        Dm
I'm not good enough for you, you were never good enough to me
              A#                                         C
No one's ever good enough to be, or have something so naïve

                F
When I broke my hand on your car, when you told me you were leavin'
      Dm
And I begged for your forgiveness, my broken fingers bleedin'
   A#                                                  C
My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me

                    Am          Dm               F                Am
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
      F          Am              Dm            F
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
          F          C                 A#                    F
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins
        C                A#   C       F
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom

F  Dm  A#  C

      F
Now I picture you like snowflakes, like desperate pouring rain
         Dm
Like the beating of the drum in the parade of the insane
            A#
You are the whisper in my ear, when I wake and no one's here
                 C
There's just the echo of your name

           F
So now you ask me for honesty, I close my eyes, breathe,
        Dm
I'm the one who always is so ready to leave
        A#
To be a distant memory
                                 C
To be a ship disappearing in the sea

      F
And I crashed upon your rocks when I heard your voice singing
      Dm
And I begged for your love with my busted ears ringing
   A#
My hopeful heart repeating
                                     C
You are more than the promise of the sea

                   Am          Dm               F                Am
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
      F          Am              Dm            F
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
          F          C                 A#                    F
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast the cursed ruins
        C                A#   C       F
For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
