Intro
[Am] [C/G] [Fmaj7] [C]
Verse 1
[Am]
Saturday sunset
[C/G] [Fmaj7] [C]
We're lying on my bed with five hours to go
[Am] [C/G]
Fingers entwined and so were our minds
[Fmaj7] [C]
Crying, "I don't want you to go"
[Am]
You wiped away tears
[C/G] [Fmaj7] [C]
But not fears under the still and clear indigo
[Am] [C/G]
You said "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine
[Fmaj7] [C]
You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
[Am] [C/G]
My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
[Fmaj7] [C]
Well, nothing then, much has changed
[Am]
'Cause while you're wolfing down liquor
[C/G]
My soul, it gets sicker
[Fmaj7]
But I'm sticking to the screenplay
[Fmaj7]
Gotta say I'm okay But answer this, babe
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [C/G]
How is it now that, somehow, you're a strangеr?
[Fmaj7] [C]
You were mine just yеsterday
[Am] [C/G]
I pray the block in my airway dissipates
[Fmaj7] [C]
And instead deters your airplane's way
[D]
But heaven denied
[F]
Destiny decried
[D]
Something beautiful died
[F]
Too soon
Chorus
[C]
But I'm letting go
[Am]
I'm giving up the ghost
[F]
But don't get me wrong
[G]
I'll always love you That's why I wrote you this very last song
[C] [Am]
I guess this is where we say goodbye
[F]
I know I'll be alright
[G]
Someday, I'll be fine
[Am] [C/G] [Fmaj7]
But just not tonight (Ooh)
Verse 2
[Am] [C/G]
Plunging into all kinds of diversions
[Fmaj7] [C]
Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
[Am] [C/G]
But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
[Fmaj7] [C]
I see you're all that can intoxicate
Pre-Chorus
[Am]
Oceans and engines
[C/G] [Fmaj7] [C]
You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
[Am]
Cause now my heart's home
[C/G] [F] [C]
All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
[D] [C]*
And I'm not okay
Chorus
[G] [C]
But I'm letting go
[Am]
I'm giving up the ghost
[F]
But don't get me wrong
[G]
I'll always love you That's why I wrote you this very last song
[C] [Am]
I guess this is where we say goodbye
[F]
I know I'll be alright
But just not --
Bridge
[Am] [C/G] [Fmaj7] [C]
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
[Am] [C/G] [Fmaj7] [C]
And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words, they revitalize my fraying bones
[Am]
Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down You've lost all solid ground
[C/G]
Both dreams and demons drowned And this void's all you've found
[Fmaj7] [C]
And doubts light it aglow
[Am7]
I have so many questions
[C/G]
But I'm pouring them into the ocean
[Fmaj7]
And I'm starting up my engine
Outro
[C]
But I'm letting go
[Am]
I'm giving up your ghost
[F]
It's come to a close
[G]
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
[C]*
I'm letting go
[Am]* [F]*
This is the last falsetto I'll ever sing to you
[Fm]* [C]*
My great lost love
