Capo 2

[Verse]

C Dadd11 G C

I saw a ghost when I was seventeen

Dadd11 Em9

And she left a scar down in my throat

C Dadd11 G C

We were so in love when you were eighteen

Dadd11 Em9

And I would've tattooed your name on my face

C Dadd11 G C

Your body was my canvas through our sleepless nights

Dadd11 Em9

And I painted roses on your chest

C Dadd11 G C

You blew your white smoke right into my lungs

C Dadd11 Em9

So I would never forget your name

[Chorus]

G D Cmaj7

And dear I would give you everything

Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7

Just to feel your heart beat on my chest oh one last time

G D Cmaj7

And dear, let the silence take you home

Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7 Dadd11 G

And stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones

[Verse]

C Dadd11 G C

I remember your face when I said I'd move away

Dadd11 Em9

And I stayed up to watch you sleep

C Dadd11 G C

With blackened dreadlocks on your pillowcase

C Dadd11 Em9

And blood red lips as morning grew

C Dadd11 G C

We were gonna get married and have kids some day

C Dadd11 Em9

I wish I still were so naive

C Dadd11 G G/B C

We drove out in the rain to find all we'd been looking for

C Dadd11 Em9

But all we found was someone else

[Chorus]

G D Cmaj7

And dear I would never be scared again

Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7

If you would hold my hand and rest your lips on my head

G D Cmaj7

Dear, it's been years and I guess we've grown

Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7 Dadd11

But stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones

[Bridge]

G G/F# Em7

I ran my fingers down your back

Cmaj7 Dadd11

As the sunlight covered the blinds

G G/F# Em7

We rolled around in the roses

Cmaj7 Dadd11

And you whispered you'd never die

[Chorus]

G D Cmaj7

And dear I think I've called too many times

Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7

But it's so damn hard to be left here with my blood full of wine

G D Cmaj7

Dear, I have never been so alone

Dadd11 Em7 D/F# G G/B Cmaj7 Dadd11 G

Please stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones
