[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Saturday sunset,
we're [C]ly in' on my bed
[F]With five hours [C]to go
[Am]Fingers entwined and [C]so
were our minds
Cryin', [F]"I don't want you [C]to go"
You [Am]wiped away tears [C]but not fears
Under [G]the still and [F]clear indigo
[C]You said, "Ba[Am]by, don't cry,
[C]we'll be [G]fine
[C]You're the one thing [F]I swear

[Verse 2]
I can't outgrow"
[C]My mot[Am]her said the younger me
was [C]a pretending prodigy
[G]Well, not[F]hing then,
much [C]has changed
'Cause while you're [Am]wolfing down liquor,
[C]my soul, it gets sicker
But I'm [F]sticking to the screenplay,
gotta say I'm okay, but answer this, babe
[Am]How is it now, that some[C]how,
you're a stranger?
You were [F]mine just yesterday
[C]I pra[Am]y the block in my air
[C]way dissipates
And instead de[F]ters your airplane's [C]way

[Verse 3]
But heaven [D]denied
Destiny [F]decried
Something beautiful [D]died
Too [F]soon

[Verse 4]
But I'm lettin' [C]go
I'm givin' [Am]up the ghost
But don't get me [F]wrong
I'll always love you, that's why
I wrote you this [G]very last song
I guess this is [C]where we
say [Am]goodbye
I know I'll be al[F]right
Someday, I'll be [G]fine
But just not tonight
[Am]Ooh[C]
[F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Plungin' into all kinds [C]of diversions
Like blush [F]wine and sonorous soir[C]ees
But [Am]even with gin and sur[G]gin' [C]adrenaline
I see [F]you're all that can intoxicate
[C]Oce[Am]ans and engines,
[G]you're skilled [C]at infringin'
on [F]great love af[C]fairs
'Cause [Am]now my heart's home,
all [C]I've known is long gone
and ten [F]thousand miles [C]away
And I'm not okay
[D]

[Verse 6]
[F]
But [G]I'm lettin' [C]go
I'm givin' [Am]up the ghost
But don't get [F]me wrong
I'll always love you, that's why
I wrote you this [G]very last song
I guess this is [C]where we say [Am]goodbye
I know I'll be [F]al right
[G]But just not

[Verse 7]
To[Am]night was the first time I stared into [C]seas
of beguiling sepia two [F]years [C]ago
And the first time I [Am]learned real world
superpowers lived in [C]three words
They revitalized my [F]frayin' bones, [C]oh
Now what do you do when your [Am]pillar crumbled down,
you've lost all solid ground
[G]Both dreams and [C]demons drowned and this
void's all you've found
[F]And doubts light it aglow?
[C]I have so many quest[Am]ions
But I'm [C]pouring them into the ocean
And I'm [F]starting up my engine

[Verse 8]
And I'm lettin' [C]go
I'm givin' [Am]up your ghost
It's come to a [F]close
I marked the end with this last
[G]song [C]I wro[G]te
I'm letting [C]go
This is the [Am]last falsetto
I'll ever sing to [F]you
My [Fm]great, lost love
