Verse
F
As we dance here in
Dm
this empty apartment
A#
Echoes of laughter
will long live here after
C
Put your memories in boxes
And cut all your losses
F
Romance left
Dm
this place long ago
A#
If these walls
could talk
C
They’d tell me
Ebm-C#/F-A# x2
it’s time to go
Refrain:
Dm C/E
You gave this place
A#
so much color
Dm C/E
I don’t know why I
A#
did not see
that before
Dm C/E
You gave life
A#
to this place
Dm
Without you
C/E B(hold)
it’s empty space
Verse 2:
F
As we kiss knowing
Dm
that it’s our last one
A#
Pull the sheets
from the mattress
Sleep hasn’t found us
C
Take the curtains
from the window
Let the world see
this last dance
F
And now what
Dm
is left for us
A#
Turn all the
lights out
C
Lock the door
Dm C/E A#
behind us
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus:
C
Someone else can
hang pictures
over holes in the walls
Dm
Duck and take cover from
the screams in the hall

Sing you to sleep when
you’re hurt from the fall
F C/E A# C F/A A# x2
And somehow I will miss this all
Verse 3:
A#
Let's burn this place down

and scatter the ashes

Paint it with gasoline

and start throwing matches

Somewhere in this wreck
C
remains dying love
(Repeat Refrain)

F C/E Dm C/E A#
And somehow I will miss this all
Outro:
F
As we dance knowing
Dm
that it’s our last one

If these walls could talk

they’d tell us

it’s time to go
