[Verse 1]

C#m E A E B

My world caught fire, you're the one who lit the spark

C#m G#m C#m A C#m E B

Now I'm playing with matches all alone, here in the dark

A B C#m A

I had to learn the hard way, that salvation has its price

I'll never forgive myself, that you were the sacrifice

[Chorus]

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye

I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie

And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse

Than this goodbye

C#m E A B

[Verse 2]

Some days the guilt inside becomes too much to bear

C#m G#m C#m A E C#m E B

I stopped seeking redemption, I don't have the will to care

A B C#m A

I know I should be stronger, 'cause I think that's what you'd want

E G#m E A E B A

You'd be so ashamed if you could see the nothing I've become

[Chorus]

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye

I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie

Please don't leave me

[Chorus]

E G#m C#m A

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye

E G#m C#m A

I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie

Your face will always haunt me, it's my comfort and my curse

And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
