[Intro]

Am G F C
…………..

[Verse 1]
Am G F C
Saturday sunset- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
Am G F C
Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying ‘I don’t want you to go’
Am G F C
You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
Am G F C
You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’

[Verse 2]
Am G F C
My mother said the younger me was a ‘Pretending’ prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
Am G F
Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin’ to the screenplay, gotta say
I’m okay,

but answer this babe:

Am G F C
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—
Am G F C
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
D7
But heaven denied
F
Destiny decried
D7
Something beautiful died
F
too soon

[Chorus]
C
But I’m letting gooooooooo
Am
I’m givin’ up the ghost
F
But don’t get me wrong

I’ll always love you that’s why

G
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
but just not tonight

[Interlude]
Am G F
……….

[Verse 3]
Am G F C
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees
Am G F C
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate
Am G F C
Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin’ on great love affairs
Am G F C
’cause now my heart’s home — all I’ve known — is long gone and 10 thousand miles away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
D7 F
And I’m not okay….

[Chorus]
G C
But I’m letting gooooooooo
Am
I’m givin’ up the ghost
F
But don’t get me wrong

I’ll always love you that’s why

G
I wrote you this very last song
C Am
I guess this is where we say goodbye
F G
I know I’ll be alright….

but just not-

[Bridge]
Am G F C
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago….
and the first time
Am G F
I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones
C
..Now what Do you Do when
Am G
Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void
is all
F C
you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
Am
I have so many questions
G F
But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine

[Chorus]
C
and I’m letting go
Am
I’m givin’ up your ghost
F
It’s come to a close
G
I marked the end with this last song I wrote

[Outro]
C
I’m letting go
Am
This is the last falsetto
F Fm6 C
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
