Intro

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

Verse 1

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

Saturday sunset-- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying 'I don’t want you to go'

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’

Verse 2

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

My mother said the younger me was a 'Pretending' prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab]

Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say

[Ab]

I’m okay but answer this babe:

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way

Pre-Chorus 1

[Fm]

But heaven denied

[Ab]

Destiny decried

[Fm]

Something beautiful died

[Ab]

too soon

Chorus

[Eb]

But I’m letting gooooooooo

[Cm]

I’m givin’ up the ghost

[Ab]

But don’t get me wrong

[Ab]

I’ll always love you that’s why

[Bb]

I wrote you this very last song

[Eb] [Cm]

I guess this is where we say goodbye

[Ab]

I know I’ll be alright

[Bb]

Someday I’ll be fine

[Cm]

but just not tonight

Verse 3

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin' on great love affairs

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

'cause now my heart’s home -- all I’ve known -- is long gone and 10 thousand miles away

Pre-Chorus 2

[E] [G] [Ab] [Bb]

And I’m not okay

Chorus

[Eb]

But I’m letting gooooooooo

[Cm]

I’m givin’ up the ghost

[Ab]

But don’t get me wrong

[Ab]

I’ll always love you that’s why

[Bb]

I wrote you this very last song

[Eb] [Cm]

I guess this is where we say goodbye

[Ab]

I know I’ll be alright

N.C.

But just not-

Bridge

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago

[Eb]

and the first time

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones

[Eb]

Now what do you do when

[Cm] [Bb]

Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void is all

[Ab] [Eb]

you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?

[Cm]

I have so many questions

[Bb] [Ab]

But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine

Chorus

[Eb]

and I’m letting go

[Cm]

I’m givin’ up your ghost

[Ab]

It’s come to a close

[Bb]

I marked the end with this last song I wrote

Outro

[Eb]

I’m letting go

[Cm]

This is the last falsetto

[Am] [Bb] [Eb]

I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
