Bride Groom

Intro: C  Am  F  G


    C                              
This city is haunted by the ghost 
                Am
of failure, I am one and you are one
We've spent this whole time on the 
           F
run from a lie that I told
That you closed your eyes and you 
          G
chose to believe

           C
So now you ask me for honesty, Just 
take a second, breathe
        Am
I'm not good enough for you, you 
were never good enough to me
              F                    
No one's ever good enough to be, or
                     G
 have something so naïve

                C
When I broke my hand on your car, 
when you told me you were leavin'
      Am
And I begged for your forgiveness, 
my broken fingers bleedin'
   F                             
My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, 
                     G
just stay here with me

Continues after the ad
                    Am        
Then you took your clothes off 
  G                F            
instead, and you danced around my 
   C
room
      Am          G              
Don't worry, you said,'cause the 
F             C
end is coming soon
          Am             G     
And we'll meet again someday and 
        F                    C
we'll toast these stunning ruins
        G                F   G   
For the bride I'll never be, and 
    C
the groom

C  Am  F  G

      C
Now I picture you like snowflakes, 
like desperate pouring rain
         Am
Like the beating of the drum in a 
parade of the insane
            F
You are the whisper in my ear, when 
I wake and no one's here
                 G
There's just the echo of your name

           C
So now you ask me for honesty, I 
close my eyes, breathe,
        Am
I'm the one who always is so ready 
to leave
        F
To be a distant memory
                                 G
To be a ship disappearing in the sea

      C
And I crashed upon your rocks when I
 heard your voice singing
      Am
And I begged for your love with my 
busted ears ringing
   F
My hopeful heart repeating
You are more than the promise of the
 G
 sea

                    Am        
Then you took your clothes off 
  G                F            
instead, and you danced around my 
   C
room
      Am          G              
Don't worry, you said,'cause the 
F             C
end is coming soon
          Am             G     
And we'll meet again someday and 
        F                C
we'll toast the cursed ruins
        G                F   G   
For the bride I'll never be, and 
    C
the groom
