[Intro]
Em Cadd9 G D
[Verse]
Em Cadd9 I woke beneath the ruins G D Of the life we almost made Em Cadd9 My mind a quiet battlefield G D My chest a live grenade Em Cadd9 The silence hums like static G D In the corners of the night Em Cadd9 Still digging through the smoke G D For pieces of the light
[Pre Chorus]
Cadd9 D You lit the match Em G And walked away Cadd9 D I stayed behind Em G To burn and pray
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 Ashes and alibis G D Scattered like dust in the wind Em Cadd9 Truth was the first to die G D Buried beneath your skin Em Cadd9 I gave you all my light G D You left me in the cold Em Cadd9 But I haul what’s left of you G D Like rusted steel that won’t let go
[Interlude]
Em Cadd9
G D
[Verse 2]
Em Cadd9 You moved like a secret G D No one’s brave enough to tell Em Cadd9 With eyes like loaded chambers G D And a smile straight outta hell Em Cadd9 I believed in every story G D Even ones I knew were lies Em Cadd9 Now I’m drowning in the silence G D Where your love used to lie
[Pre Chorus]
Cadd9 D You held the knife Em G But I took the blame Cadd9 D A martyr still Em G In your lovers’ game
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 Ashes and alibis G D Scattered like dust in the wind Em Cadd9 Truth was the first to die G D Buried beneath your skin Em Cadd9 I gave you all my light G D You left me in the cold Em Cadd9 But I haul what’s left of you G D Like rusted steel that won’t let go
[Bridge]
Am Cadd9 Em G
[Bridge]
Am Cadd9 Don’t call it fate Em G Don’t call it love Am Cadd9 Call it war Em G With no white dove Am Cadd9 Call it bleeding Em G Call it done Am Cadd9 You were the bullet Em D And I was the gun
[Final Chorus]
Em Cadd9 Ashes and alibis G D Scattered like dust in the wind Em Cadd9 You carved your name in me G D Now I can’t pretend Em Cadd9 I gave you all my light G D And now I’m burning slow Em Cadd9 But I haul what’s left of you G D Like rusted steel that won’t let go
[Outro]
