                       C
We were staring down disaster

                      Am
That night, we almost called it quits

                                F
You said that you were changing chapters

                              C
I said this can't be where it ends

                    C
Not even poetry can fix this

                        Am
Right now, we both need more than words

                           F
If we give up, we're gonna miss this

                       C
Can we remember who we were
[Pre-Chorus]
                Dm
Standing on St. Brigid's Road

                 F
Where we finally let it go
[Chorus]
                      C
We held a funeral for heartache

                  Am
We buried trouble in the grass

                        F6
Wе didn't bother buying roses

                           C
'Cause wе ain't ever going back

                             C
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow

               Am
I barely know about today

                     F6
We set a fire to our sorrow

                              C
And watched the hurt go up in flames
[Verse 2]
C                                                          Am
 Grief is such a solid promise, joy just leaves you in the rain

                                                      F6
Sadness waits down in the lobby, solace stood you up again

                                                      C
I'm thankful for the darkness, everything that let me see

                                                    C
So much beauty in the storm, like how you turn to me

                                                           Am
If I'm honest, you're the reason that the light gets in at all

                                                                     F6
You're the song that breaks the silence, you're the smile at curtain call

                                                        C
I'm scared of who I'd be without you much more than you know

                              C
If I seem strong, it's just a show
[Pre-Chorus]
                Dm
Standing on St. Brigid's Road

                 F
Where we finally let it go
[Chorus]
                      C
We held a funeral for heartache

                  Am
We buried trouble in the grass

                        F6
Wе didn't bother buying roses

                           C
'Cause wе ain't ever going back

                             C
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow

               Am
I barely know about today

                     F6
We set a fire to our sorrow

                              C
And watched the hurt go up in flames
[Bridge]
C
 Oh, no-no

                     Am
We ain't never going back

F6
 Oh, no-no

                     C
We ain't never going back
[Chorus]
                      C
We held a funeral for heartache

                  Am
We buried trouble in the grass

                        F
Wе didn't bother buying roses

                           C
'Cause wе ain't ever going back

                             C
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow

               Am
I barely know about today

                     F6
We set a fire to our sorrow

                              C
And watched the hurt go up in flames
