Intro:

Cm Bb Ab Eb


Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

Cm                Bb             Ab           Eb
My mother said the younger me was a 'Pretending' prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
Cm                    Bb              Ab
Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say
           Ab
I’m okay but answer this babe:
Cm         Bb                 Ab       Eb
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—
Cm               Bb            Ab          Eb
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way


Pre-Chorus 1:

Fm
But heaven denied
    Ab
Destiny decried
Fm
Something beautiful died
  Ab
too soon


Chorus:

        Eb
But I’m letting gooooooooo
      Cm
I’m givin’ up the ghost
         Ab
But don’t get me wrong
       Ab
I’ll always love you that’s why
         Bb
I wrote you this very last song
        Eb        Cm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
        Ab
I know I’ll be alright
        Bb
Someday I’ll be fine
       Cm
but just not tonight


Verse 3:

Cm           Bb            Ab           Eb
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees
   Cm          Bb           Ab            Eb
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate
Cm             Bb           Ab       Eb
Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
Cm                   Bb               Ab      Eb
'cause now my heart’s home -- all I’ve known -- is long gone and 10 thousand miles away


Pre-Chorus 2:

      E   G Ab Bb
And I’m not okay


Chorus:

        Eb
But I’m letting gooooooooo
      Cm
I’m givin’ up the ghost
         Ab
But don’t get me wrong
       Ab
I’ll always love you that’s why
         Bb
I wrote you this very last song
        Eb        Cm
I guess this is where we say goodbye
        Ab
I know I’ll be alright
    N.C.
But just not-


Bridge:

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


Chorus:

        Eb
and I’m letting go
      Cm
I’m givin’ up your ghost
        Ab
It’s come to a close
                Bb
I marked the end with this last song I wrote


Outro:

      Eb
I’m letting go
      Cm
This is the last falsetto
          Am   Bb     Eb
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
