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

♫ Verse 2:
  Fm              G               C            F
My mother said the younger me was a ‘Pretending’ prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
         Fm           G               C
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:
Fm           G                C        F
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—
  Fm               G            C          F
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way

♫ Pre-Chorus 1:
       G7
But heaven denied
      C
Destiny decried
           G7
Something beautiful died
   C
too soon

♫ Chorus:
         F
But I’m letting gooooooooo
      Fm
I’m givin’ up the ghost
          C
But don’t get me wrong

I’ll always love you that’s why
         G
I wrote you this very last song
         F       Fm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
         C
I know I’ll be alright
         G
Someday I’ll be fine
        Fm
but just not tonight

♫ Interlude:
Fm  G  C
……….

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

♫ Pre-Chorus 2:
       G7  C
And I’m not okay….

♫ Chorus:
  G       F
But I’m letting gooooooooo
      Fm
I’m givin’ up the ghost
          C
But don’t get me wrong

I’ll always love you that’s why
         G
I wrote you this very last song
         F       Fm
I guess this is where we say goodbye

I know I’ll be alright….

♫ Bridge:
  Fm                   G              C    F
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago….

and the first time
  Fm                   G                  C
I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones
F
 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
          C   Cm6     F
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
