Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago….

and the first time

  Now what Do you Do when
      Fm                                                        G
Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void is all
C                F
you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
                    Fm
I have so many questions
          G                                  C
But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine

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

♫ Outro:
            F
I’m letting go
             Fm
This is the last falsetto

I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
