So long, London

tone [A]

 

[D] [Bm] [E] [A]

 

I [D]saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist

I [Bm]kept calm and carried the weight of the rift

[E]Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting [A]away

My [D]spine split from carrying us up the hill

Wet [Bm]through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill

I [E]stopped trying to make

him laugh, stopped trying to drill the [A]safe

[D]Thinking, How much sad did you

[Bm] Think I had, did [E]you think I had in [A]me? Oh, the tragedy

 

[D]So [Bm]long [E] [A]London

[D]You'll [Bm]find [E] [A]someone

 

I [D]didn't opt in to be your odd man out

I [Bm]founded the club she's heard great things about

I [E]left all I knew you left me at the house by the [A]Heath

I [D]stopped CPR, after all it's no use

The [Bm]spirit was gone we would never come to

And I'm [E]pissed off you let me give you all that youth for [A]free

 

[D]So [Bm]long, [E] [A]London

[D] [Bm]Stitches [E] [A]undone

[D]Two [Bm]graves, [E]one [A]gun

[D]I'll [Bm]find [E] [A]someone

 

And you [Gbm]say I abandoned the ship but I was [A]going down with it

My white [E]knuckle dying grip

holding [Bm]tight to your quiet resentment

And my friends said [Gbm]it isn't right to be scared

Every [A]day old love affair, every [E]breath feels like rarest air

When you're not [Bm]sure if he wants to be there

 

[Gbm] So how much sad did [A]you think I had, did [E]you think I had in [Bm]me?

How much [Gbm]tragedy?

Just how low did [A]you think I'd go 'fore [E]I'd self implode?

[Bm] 'Fore I'd have to go be [D]free?

 

You [D]swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?

I [Bm]died on the altar waiting for the proof

You [E]sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest [A]days

And I'm [D]just getting color back [Bm]into my face

I'm [E]just mad as hell cause I [A]loved this place for

 

[D]So [Bm]long, [E] [A]London

[D]Had [Bm]a [E]good [A]run

a [D] [Bm]moment of [E]warm [A]sun

But [D]I'm [Bm]not [E]the [A]one

[D]So [Bm]long, [E] [A]London

[D] [Bm]Stitches [E] [A]undone

[D]Two [Bm]graves, [E]one [A]gun

[D]You'll [Bm]find [E] [A]someone
