[Intro]
C   G   Em  F 
Am  G  Em  F  x2
[Strophe]
Am           G 
  We gather here, we line up 
 Em                      F 
Weeping in a sunlit room 
    Am           G     Em                      F 
And   if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too 
 Am                  G 
Even on my worst day,  did I deserve babe 
Em                   F 
   All the hell you gave me 
Am 
  'Cause I loved you 
G                   Em                  F 
  I swear I loved you   'til my dying day
[Refrain]
C    Dm           Am          F                C      Dm 
        I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 
                Am          F       C         Dm 
And you're the hero flying around saving face 
            Am               F                  C 
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake 
            Dm               Am 
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed 
            F 
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Instrumentale]
C    Dm   Am   F
[Strophe]
Am           G       Em                            F 
  We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean 
Am         G      Em                        F 
  Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring 
       Am                   G 
  You know I didn't want to   have to haunt you 
Em                        F 
  But what a ghostly scene 
Am                        G                Em             F 
  You wear the same jewels  that I gave you  as you bury me
[Refrain]
C    Dm           Am          F                C     Dm 
        I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 
                 Am                 F       C           Dm 
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I   was brave 
            Am               F                  C 
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake 
            Dm               Am 
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed 
            F 
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Pont]
C              Dm             Am 
  And I can go anywhere I want 
         F                 C 
Anywhere I want, just not home 
                 Dm                       Am 
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood 
                     F               C 
But you would still miss me in your bones 
           Dm            Am            F                 C 
And I still  talk to you    (When I'm screaming at the sky) 
                  Dm              Am              F 
And when you can't sleep at night  (You hear my stolen lullabies)
[Refrain]
          Am          F                C     Dm 
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 
            Am                F         C          Dm 
And so the battleships will sink beneath  the waves 
            Am              F                   C 
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same 
              Dm               Am 
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed 
                      F 
You turned into your worst fears 
C                          Dm                   Am 
  And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, 
                  F 
Crossing out the good years 
           C              Dm               Am 
And you're    cursing my name, wishing I stayed 
            F 
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Outro]
C  Dm  Am  F  x3
