Ruin

F

[Verse 1]

Am
I will bring you ruin
    F
In everything I do
      Am         C           
It’s never my intention but it 
   F
happens all the same

    Am
It starts with love and comfort
   F
Becomes a strength of will
    Am                      C     
But all that strength made rubble 
          F
of those towers we built

[Chorus]

         Am                 C
Because brick by brick you built us
    Em                F
And I’d fill in the cracks.
 Am               C
Nothing quite prepares you for
Em                    F
When they don’t come back

   Am                   C
I wish I’d done things different
   Em                 F
I wish that I’d been brave
   Am                    C        
I wish I’d known these stones were
           F             C
 something I could save

     C               G
Our mortar was your laughter
                F             Am
And you hurled curses at the land
               F         Am
We didn’t talk.  We made universes
        C                F
Out of bitten lips and broken hands

         C               G
And you said I love you less
       F            Am
Than when It all began
            F
And I said fewer
            Am                 C  
Cos I make jokes to show how 
     F
broken I really am

         Am             G
In the wreck of all we burnt
            F
Stands our piano like a wound
            Am
I play our song
          G        F
To see if it’s in tune
                       /And I'll 
sing silence

    Am            G
But you, you sit next to me
          F              C
And your finger brushes mine
        Am           G
And I promise to be patient
         F                         
And you promise to be, promise to 
  Am F
be kind

[Chorus]

     Am                 C
Cos brick by brick you built us
        Em                   F
Of the earth, the silt and ground
        Am                    C
We can rest, you say, in the pieces
           Em                  
Of what’s left, or of what what 
        F
we’ve found

   Am                   C
I wish I’d done things different
  Em                F
I wish I’d made it right
          Am               C
But we’ll burn a hundred theatres
       Em                F
If it means we get the wallpaper 
right

      Am               C
I’ll brick by brick rebuild us
        Em                F
Out of hows and whys not whens
Am                C
Nothing quite prepared me for
           Em          F
When that piano sang again

   Am                    C
Tomorrow I’ll do things different
   Em              F
Tomorrow I’ll be brave
   Am              C
Tomorrow I’ll be brave
   Em              F
Tomorrow I’ll be brave
