[Opening]
[C] [G] [Em] [F] [Am] [G] [Em] [F]
[Am]We gather [G]here, we line up, [Em]weeping in a sunlit room [F]
And [Am]if I’m on [G]fire, [Em]you’ll be made of ashes [F]too
[Am]Even on my worst [G]day, did I deserve babe
[Em]All the hell you [F]gave me, [Am]’cause I loved you
[G]I swear I [Em]loved you, ’til my dying [F]day

[section 2]
[C] [Dm]I didn’t [Am]have it in my[F]self to go with [C]grace [Dm]
And you’re the [Am]hero flying [F]around [C]saving face [Dm]
And if I’m [Am]dead to you, why [F]are you at the wake [C]
Cursing my [Dm]name, wishing I [Am]stayed
Look at how [F]my tears ricochet

[section 3]
[C] [Dm] [Am] [F]
[Am]We gather [G]stones, [Em]never knowing what they’ll mean[F]
[Am]Some to [G]throw, [Em]some to make a diamond ring[F]
You [Am]know I didn’t want to [G]have to haunt you
[Em]But what a ghostly [F]scene
[Am]You wear the same jewels [G]that I gave you [Em]as you bury [F]me

[section 4]
[C] [Dm]I didn’t [Am]have it in my[F]self to go with [C]grace [Dm]
‘Cause when I’d [Am]fight, you used to [F]tell me I [C]was brave[Dm]
And if I’m [Am]dead to you, why [F]are you at the wake [C]
Cursing my [Dm]name, wishing I [Am]stayed
Look at how [F]my tears ricochet

[section 5]
[C]And I can go [Dm]anywhere I [Am]want
Anywhere [F]I want, just not [C]home
And you can aim [Dm]for my heart, go for [Am]blood
But you would still [F]miss me in your [C]bones
And I [Dm]still talk to you [Am](When I’m s[F]creaming at the [C]sky)
And when you [Dm]can’t sleep at night [Am](You hear my [F]stolen lullabies)

[Closing]
I didn’t [Am]have it in my[F]self to go with [C]grace [Dm]
And so the [Am]battleships will [F]sink beneath [C]the waves[Dm]
You had to [Am]kill me, but it [F]killed you just the [C]same
Cursing my [Dm]name, wishing I [Am]stayed
You turned into your [F]worst fears
[C]And you’re tossing out [Dm]blame, drunk on this [Am]pain,
Crossing out the [F]good years
And you’re [C]cursing my [Dm]name, wishing I [Am]stayed
Look at how [F]my tears ricochet

[outro]
[C] [Dm] [Am] [F]
