[Verse]
C
Hey there, shadow,
Am
You didn't seem to care at all when you watched me go.
F
I know young love is just a dream,
Fm
We were only seventeen,
C
But you're the only love I've known.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
So please just let me go if you're done
C G
'Cause it's hope that kills this heart.
F Fm
So please set me free, kill the spark.
[Chorus]
C G
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia,
Am
Looking for nothing short of a miracle.
F
I only ever wanted to come home.
C
Please won't you let me go?
G
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Am
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
F
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Fm C
Then pull the trigger and send me home.
[Verse]
C
So how did I get so far from my yesterdays?
Am
Another broken heart now just a memory.
F
I should've left you in the dark,
Fm
I should've left this awful town
C
And never found out how to love.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C G
So I don't wanna know about the things that you regret now that we're dead and over and done.
F Fm
Get away from me and leave my heart under the rug.
[Chorus]
C G
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia,
Am
Looking for nothing short of a miracle.
F
I only ever wanted to come home.
C
Please won't you let me go?
G
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Am
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
F
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Fm C
Then pull the trigger and send me home.

[Final Chorus]
C G
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia,
Am
Looking for nothing short of a miracle.
F
I only ever wanted to come home.

Please won't you let me go?

When I have nowhere left I can run away

Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?

Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Fm C
Then pull the trigger and send me home.
