[Intro]
Am G F C
…………..
[Verse 1]
Am               G             F        C
Saturday sunset- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
Am            G                F             C
Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying ‘I don’t want you to go’
   Am              G                  F    C
You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
       Am               G                   F         C
You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’
[Verse 2]
   Am                G                 F              C
My mother said the younger me was a ‘Pretending’ prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
          Am              G                F
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:
Am              G                  F         C
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—
  Am                  G             F            C
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way
[Pre-Chorus 1]
        D7
But heaven denied
      F
Destiny decried
           D7
Something beautiful died
   F
too soon
[Chorus]
           C
But I’m letting gooooooooo
       Am
I’m givin’ up the ghost
            F
But don’t get me wrong
I’ll always love you that’s why
            G
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
but just not tonight
[Interlude]
Am G F
……….
[Verse 3]
 Am             G                F              C
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees
   Am              G            F                C
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate
Am                  G              F         C
Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin’ on great love affairs
    Am                     G                  F       C
’cause now my heart’s home — all I’ve known — is long gone and 10 thousand miles away
[Pre-Chorus 2]
       D7 F
And I’m not okay….
[Chorus]
   G        C
But I’m letting gooooooooo
       Am
I’m givin’ up the ghost
            F
But don’t get me wrong
I’ll always love you that’s why
            G
I wrote you this very last song
            C        Am
I guess this is where we say goodbye
            F G
I know I’ll be alright….
but just not-
[Bridge]
  Am                       G                 F     C
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago….
and the first time
   Am                      G                      F
I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones
C
..Now what Do you Do when
    Am                                G
Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void
is all
F          C
you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
             Am
I have so many questions
       G                  F
But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine
[Chorus]
          C
and I’m letting go
       Am
I’m givin’ up your ghost
           F
It’s come to a close
                   G
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
[Outro]
        C
I’m letting go
         Am
This is the last falsetto
             F Fm6         C
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.
