Bride Groom

Intro: C  Am  F  G


    C                                              Am
This city is haunted by the ghost of failure, I am one and you are one
                                              F
We've spent this whole time on the run from a lie that I told
                                            G
That you closed your eyes and you 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                                         G
No one's ever good enough to be, or 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                                                  G
My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me

                    Am          G                F               C
Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room
      Am          G              F             C
Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon
          Am             G             F                    C
And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins
        G                F   G       C
For the bride I'll never be, and 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
                                     G
You are more than the promise of the sea

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