[Verse 1]

    A5
The procession went smoothly, 
    F5
the lights low and dim. 
  C5
I raised my clear glass, 
      G5
and I toast times to heaven. 
    A5
But you're not the same love
     F5
that I used to know. 
           C5
Well, I'll break this guitar 
    G5
and board up these windows. 
     A5                  F5                   C5
Just make sure they know...that I won't return.

[Chorus]

A5                   F5
With my bloody lips, 
                     C5
and your broken arms, 
                G5
we'll turn into one 
                        A5
and we'll sing the same song. 
                F5
With my sinking feet 
               C5
and your heavy heart, 
             G5
no don't you start.

no don't you start this again.

[Intro Riff]

[Verse 2 (Same chord progression)]
This house screams of memories
and half-written songs,
with the chance of completion
depending on love.
This disconnected phone,
well, it is seldom to speak.
Although, when it does
its so harsh and complete. 

[Chorus]

A5 , F5 ,
        C5               G5
No dont you start, dont you start. [X2]

[Intro Riff]

Then strum a G5 chord.
