Verse 1 *Same pattern as intro
This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor
Littering my shore
This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world created to destroy

Intro 2x
Verse 2 *Same as Verse 1(use same strum pattern as into)*
And this is your ghost that kneels before me
Razors on her tongue, a body full of oxygen
It wont be the last time she'll ignore me
The thinning of my skin, without the strength to go
The winter's setting in, to cover you in snow
Pre-Chorus
But if DmI built you a Fcity, would you Amlet me?
Would you Gtear it downF?
