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

Sing you to sleep when
you’re hurt from the fall

And somehow I will miss this all
Verse 3:
F#
Let's burn this place down
G#
and scatter the ashes

Paint it with gasoline

and start throwing matches

Somewhere in this wreck
G#
remains dying love
(Repeat Refrain)

And somehow I will miss this all

C#
As we dance knowing

that it’s our last one

they’d tell us

it’s time to go
