[Intro:]
A#m G# F# C#
A#m G#
saturday sunset we're lying on my bed
F# C#
with five hours to go..
A#m G#
fingers entwined and so were our
minds
F# C#
crying I don't want you to go..
A#m G#
you wiped away tears but not fears
F# C#
under the still and clear indigo..
A#m
you said, baby don't cry,
G#
we'll be fine you're the one thing
F# C#
I swear I can't outgrow..
A#m
my mother said the younger me
G#
was a pretending prodigy
F# C#
well nothing, then, much has changed..
A#m
coz while you're wolfing down liquor,
G#
my soul it gets sicker,
F#
but I'm stickin' to the screenplay,
gotta say I'm okay
but answer this babe
A#m
how is it now
G#
that somehow you're a stranger
F# C#
you were mine.. just yesterday..
A#m
I prayed the block in my airway
G#
dissipates and instead
F# C#
deters your airplane's way..
D#
but heaven denied..
F#
destiny decried..
D#
something beautiful died..
F#
too soon..
[Reff:]
C#
but I'm letting go..
A#m
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# A#m
I guess this is where we say goodbye..
F#
I know I'll be alright..
G#
someday I'll be fine..
A#m G# F#
but just not tonight.. (oooh..)
A#m G#
plunging into all kinds of diversions
F# C#
like blush wine and sonorous soirees..
A#m G#
but even with gin and surgin'
adrenaline
F# C#
I see you're all that can intoxicate..
A#m
oceans and engines,
G# F#
you're skilled at infringin' on great..
C#
love affairs..
A#m
'cause now my heart's home
G#
all I've known is long gone
F# C#
and ten thousand miles away..
D# F#
and I'm not okay..
[Reff:]
-G# C#
but I'm letting go..
A#m
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# A#m
I guess this is where we say goodbye..
F#
I know I'll be alright..
G#
but just not
A#m
tonight was the first time
G#
I stared into seas of beguiling sepia
F#
two years ago..
C#
and the first time
A#m
I learned real world superpowers
G#
lived in three words and could
revitalize
F#
my frayin' bones..
C#
uh.. now what do you do when
A#m
your pillar crumbled down,
you've lost all solid ground,
G#
both dreams and demons drowned,
and this void is all
F#
you've found and doubts..
C#
light it aglow?
A#m
I have so many questions..
G#
but I'm pourin them into the ocean
F#
and I'm starting up my engine..
[Reff:]
C#
and I'm letting go..
A#m
I'm givin' up your ghost
F#
it's come to a close..
I marked the end
G#
with this last song I wrote
C#
I'm letting go..
A#m
this is the last falsetto
F# F#m
I'll ever sing to you my great
C#
lost love..
