As we dance here in

this empty apartment

Echoes of laughter
will long live here after

And cut all your losses

this place long ago

If these walls
could talk

They’d tell me

it’s time to go
Refrain:
Ebm C#/F
You gave this place
B
so much color
Ebm C#/F

to this place
Ebm
Without you
C#/F B(hold)
it’s empty space

As we kiss knowing

that it’s our last one

Pull the sheets
from the mattress
Sleep hasn’t found us

Take the curtains
from the window
Let the world see
this last dance

And now what

is left for us

Turn all the
lights out

Lock the door
Ebm C#/F B
behind us
(Repeat Refrain)

Someone else can
hang pictures
over holes in the walls

remains dying love
