Title: Nine Nights Chords: G, Em, C, D (verse, pre-chorus, chorus), Am, F, C, E (bridge) [Verse 1]
G                   Em
I fell like the rain on an August night,

C                     D
Soft and unseen, but heavy with light.

G                     Em
Your eyes were a door I was never meant to find,

C                     D
A fleeting invitation, a trick of the mind.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                  C
You carried the sun in the palm of your hand,

G                     D
While I chased the shadows I didn’t understand.
[Chorus]
G                     Em
And now I’m left in the silence,

C                     D
A heart that aches with defiance.

G                   Em
I gave you my light, but it burned me whole,

C                   D
Now I’m an echo, a half of a soul.

G                     Em
You were the flame, I was the moth,

C                  D
I flew to you knowing I’d be lost.

Em                  C
Now I wander the ruins, searching in vain,

G                  D
For the pieces of love that still whisper your name.
[Verse 2]
G                   Em
I painted your name in a sky full of grey,

C                      D
Hoping the storm might wash it away.

G                   Em
But love is a ghost that lingers too long,

C                      D
A bittersweet echo in a half-written song.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                     C
You promised the world with a fleeting glance,

G                     D
But left me alone in the wreckage of chance.
[Chorus]
G                     Em
And now I’m left in the silence,

C                     D
A heart that aches with defiance.

G                   Em
I gave you my light, but it burned me whole,

C                   D
Now I’m an echo, a half of a soul.

G                     Em
You were the flame, I was the moth,

C                  D
I flew to you knowing I’d be lost.

Em                  C
Now I wander the ruins, searching in vain,

G                  D
For the pieces of love that still whisper your name.
[Bridge]
Am                    F
I built you a cathedral of fragile dreams,

C                      E
Lit every candle, but you tore at the seams.

Am                   F
I wrote you in verses of winter and spring,

C                      E
But seasons don’t stay-they take everything.

Am                  F
You were the ghost of a wish I once made,

C                   E
A fleeting mirage that just couldn’t stay.

Am                     F
Now the moon’s just a liar, the stars betray,

C                    E
They watched us crumble, then turned away.
[Chorus]
G                     Em
And now I’m left in the silence,

C                     D
A heart that aches with defiance.

G                   Em
I gave you my light, but it burned me whole,

C                   D
Now I’m an echo, a half of a soul.

G                     Em
You were the flame, I was the moth,

C                  D
I flew to you knowing I’d be lost.

Em                  C
Now I wander the ruins, searching in vain,

G                  D
For the pieces of love that still whisper your name.
[Outro]
G                   Em
I loved you like ruins love ivy to climb,

C                      D
Slowly and surely, erased by time.

G                     Em
Now the air tastes of endings, sharp and cold,

C                     D
A love burned too quickly, withered and old.

G                   Em
I trace every memory, soft and untrue,

C                  D
Because all I have left is the ghost of you.
