My Tears Ricochet

[Primera Parte]

 Am          G
We gather here, we line up
Em                   F
Weepin' in a sunlit room
Am             G      Em
And if I'm on fire, you'll
                   F
Be made of ashes, too

Am
Even on my worst day
 G              Em
Did I deserve, babe
            F
All the hell you gave me?
Am                G
  'Cause I loved you

I swear I loved you
Em             F  C
'Til my dying day

[Estribillo]

Dm           Am
 I didn't have it in
   F                C
Myself to go with grace
Dm               Am
 And you're the hero
          F       C
Flying around, saving face
Dm           Am
 And if I'm dead to you
    F               C
Why are you at the wake?
            Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
             F
Look at how my tears ricochet

( C  Dm  Am  F )

[Segunda Parte]

Am          G       Em
We gather stones, never

                      F
Knowing what they'll mean
 Am        G      Em
Some to throw, some to
                F
Make a diamond ring
 Am
You know I didn't want
 G
To have to haunt you
 Em                  F
But what a ghostly scene
 Am
You wear the same jewels
  G
That I gave you
Em           F  C
As you bury me

[Estribillo]

Dm           Am
 I didn't have it in
   F                C
Myself to go with grace
Dm               Am
 'Cause when I'd fight
             F       C
You used to tell me I was brave
Dm           Am
 And if I'm dead to you
    F               C
Why are you at the wake?
            Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
             F
Look at how my tears ricochet

[Puente]

C              Dm
And I can go anywhere I want
Am          F
Anywhere I want

Just not home
C
And you can aim for
 Dm
My heart, go for blood
 Am
But you would still
 F
Miss me in your bones
C            Dm
And I still talk to you
  Am                         F
(When I'm screaming at the sky)
C             Dm
And when you can't sleep at night
 Am                     F
(You hear my stolen lullabies)

[Estribillo]

C Dm          Am
  I didn't have it in
      F             C
Myself to go with grace
Dm          Am
And so the battleships
      F                C
Will sink beneath the waves
Dm          Am
You had to kill me, but it
 F
Killed you just the same
 C          Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
                      F
You turned into your worst fears
C                        Dm
And you're tossing out blame
               Am
Drunk on this pain
                  F
Crossing out the good years
            C          Dm
And you're cursing my name
             Am
Wishing I stayed
             F
Look at how my tears ricochet
