As we dance here in

this empty apartment

Echoes of laughter
will long live here after

Put your memories in boxes
And cut all your losses

this place long ago

If these walls
could talk

it’s time to go

Cbm A/C#
You gave this place

so much color

to this place
Cbm
Without you
A/C# B(hold)
it’s empty space
Verse 2:
D
As we kiss knowing
Cbm
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

behind us
(Repeat Refrain)

Someone else can
hang pictures
over holes in the walls

remains dying love
