[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
