Chords

[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 closed the door

Em       G
Without a word or sound

Cadd9    D
I stood in place

Em       G
While the walls came crashing down
[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] Em Cadd9 G D Em
