Verse
D#
As we dance here in
Cm
this empty apartment
G#
Echoes of laughter
will long live here after
A#
Put your memories in boxes
And cut all your losses
D#
Romance left
Cm
this place long ago
G#
If these walls
could talk
A#
They’d tell me
Ebm-C#/F-G# x2
it’s time to go
Refrain:
Cm A#/D
You gave this place
G#
so much color
Cm A#/D
I don’t know why I
G#
did not see
that before
Cm A#/D
You gave life
G#
to this place
Cm
Without you
A#/D B(hold)
it’s empty space
Verse 2:
D#
As we kiss knowing
Cm
that it’s our last one
G#
Pull the sheets
from the mattress
Sleep hasn’t found us
A#
Take the curtains
from the window
Let the world see
this last dance
D#
And now what
Cm
is left for us
G#
Turn all the
lights out
A#
Lock the door
Cm A#/D G#
behind us
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus:
A#
Someone else can
hang pictures
over holes in the walls
Cm
Duck and take cover from
the screams in the hall
G#
Sing you to sleep when
you’re hurt from the fall
D# A#/D G# A# D#/G G# x2
And somehow I will miss this all
Verse 3:
G#
Let's burn this place down
A#
and scatter the ashes

Paint it with gasoline

and start throwing matches
G#
Somewhere in this wreck
A#
remains dying love
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus except last line)
D# A#/D Cm A#/D G#
And somehow I will miss this all
Outro:
D#
As we dance knowing

that it’s our last one

they’d tell us

it’s time to go
