Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
Am C/G Fmaj7 C
[Verse 1]
Am
Saturday sunset
C/G Fmaj7 C
We're lying on my bed with five hours to go
Am C/G
Fingers entwined and so were our minds
Fmaj7 C
Crying, "I don't want you to go"
Am
You wiped away tears
C/G Fmaj7 C
But not fears under the still and clear indigo
Am C/G
You said "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine
Fmaj7 C
You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
Am C/G
My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
Fmaj7 C
Well, nothing then, much has changed
Am
'Cause while you're wolfing down liquor
C/G
My soul, it gets sicker
Fmaj7
But I'm sticking to the screenplay
Fmaj7
Gotta say I'm okay But answer this, babe
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C/G
How is it now that, somehow, you're a strangеr?
Fmaj7 C
You were mine just yеsterday
Am C/G
I pray the block in my airway dissipates
Fmaj7 C
And instead deters your airplane's way
D
But heaven denied
F
Destiny decried
D
Something beautiful died
F
Too soon
[Chorus]
C
But I'm letting go
Am
I'm giving up the ghost
F
But don't get me wrong
G
I'll always love you That's why I wrote you this very last song
C Am
I guess this is where we say goodbye
F
I know I'll be alright
G
Someday, I'll be fine
Am C/G Fmaj7
But just not tonight (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Am C/G
Plunging into all kinds of diversions
Fmaj7 C
Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
Am C/G
But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
Fmaj7 C
I see you're all that can intoxicate
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Oceans and engines
C/G Fmaj7 C
You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
Am
Cause now my heart's home
C/G F C
All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
D C
And I'm not okay
[Chorus]
G C
But I'm letting go
Am
I'm giving up the ghost
F
But don't get me wrong
G
I'll always love you That's why I wrote you this very last song
C Am
I guess this is where we say goodbye
F
I know I'll be alright
But just not --
[Bridge]
Am C/G Fmaj7 C
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
Am C/G Fmaj7 C
And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words, they revitalize my fraying bones
Am
Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down You've lost all solid ground
C/G
Both dreams and demons drowned And this void's all you've found
Fmaj7 C
And doubts light it aglow
Am7
I have so many questions
C/G
But I'm pouring them into the ocean
Fmaj7
And I'm starting up my engine
[Outro]
C
But I'm letting go
Am
I'm giving up your ghost
F
It's come to a close
G
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
C
I'm letting go
Am F
This is the last falsetto I'll ever sing to you
Fm C
My great lost love
Saturday sunset

"You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"

'Cause while you're wolfing down liquor
My soul, it gets sicker
But I'm sticking to the screenplay
Gotta say I'm okay
But answer this, babe
How is it now that somehow you're a stranger?
You were mine just yesterday
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates
And instead deters your airplane's way

Something beautiful died
Too soon

You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
'Cause now my heart's home
All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
And I'm not okay

I'm givin' up the ghost

I'll always love you that's why I wrote you this very last song
I guess this is where we say goodbye
I know I'll be alright
But just not
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words they revitalize my fraying bones(Hm)
Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down
You've lost all solid ground
Both dreams and demons drowned
And this void's all you've found
And doubts light it aglow
I have so many questions
But I'm pouring them into the ocean
And I'm starting up my engine
And I'm letting go
I'm givin' up your ghost
It's come to a close
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
I'm letting go
This is the last falsetto I'll ever sing to you
My great lost love
