Maroon

Tone [Em]

[C]When the morning came we [G]Were cleaning incense off your

[Em]vinyl shelf ‘cause we [D]lost track of time again

[C]Laughing with my feet [G]in your lap like [Em]you were my [D]closest friend

[C]“How’d we end up on the [G]floor anyway?” You say

[Em]“Your roommate’s cheap-ass screw top [D]rosé,that’s how.”

[C]...I see you [G]every day [Em]now [D]

 

And [C]I chose [G]you the [Em]one I was [D]dancing with in New [C]York

No [G]shoes looked [Em]up at the [D]sky and it was

The [C]burgundy on my t-shirt when you [G]splashed your wine into

me and [Em]how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so [D]scarlet it was

The [C]mark they saw on my collarbone the [G]rust that grew

between telephones the [Em]lips I used to call homeSo s[D]carlet

It was ma[C]roon [G] [Em] [D]

 

When the [C]silence came we were shaking [G]blind and hazy

How the [Em]hell did we lose sight of [D]us again?

Sobbing [C]with your head in your hands [G]ain’t that the way [Em]shit always [D]ends

[C]You were standing hollow-[G]eyed in the hallway

[Em]Carnations you had thought were [D]roses that’s us

[C]...I feel you [G]no matter [Em]what the [D]rubies that I gave up

 

And [C]I lost [G]you the [Em]one I was [D]dancing with in New York

No [G]shoes looked [Em]up at the [D]sky and it was

The [C]burgundy on my t-shirt when you [G]splashed your wine into

me and [Em]how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so [D]scarlet it was

The [C]mark they saw on my collarbone the [G]rust that grew

between telephones the [Em]lips I used to call homeSo s[D]carlet

It was ma[C]roon [G] [Em] [D]

 

And I [C]wake with your memory [G]over me that’s a [Em]real fuckin’ legacy, [D]legacy

And I [C]wake with your memory [G]over me that’s a [Em]real fuckin’ legacy … [D]to leave

 

The [C]burgundy on my t-shirt when you [G]splashed your wine into

me and [Em]how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so [D]scarlet it was

The [C]mark they saw on my collarbone the [G]rust that grew

between telephones the [Em]lips I used to call homeSo s[D]carlet

It was ma[C]roon [G] [Em] [D]
