Verse 1:
      F#
As we dance here in
     Ebm
this empty apartment
B
Echoes of laughter
will long live here after
         C#
Put your memories in boxes
And cut all your losses
  F#
Romance left 
           Ebm
this place long ago
   B
If these walls
could talk
       C#
They’d tell me
             Ebm-C#/F-B x2
it’s time to go


Refrain:
Ebm           C#/F
You gave this place
        B
so much color
Ebm              C#/F
I don’t know why I 
        B
did not see 
that before
Ebm      C#/F
You gave life 
       B
to this place
  Ebm
Without you 
     C#/F   B(hold)
it’s empty space


Verse 2:
      F#
As we kiss knowing 
     Ebm
that it’s our last one
         B
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
   Ebm
is left for us
B
Turn all the
lights out
C#
Lock the door
  Ebm    C#/F B
behind us


(Repeat Refrain)


Chorus:
        C#
Someone else can
hang pictures
over holes in the walls
Ebm
Duck and take cover from
the screams in the hall
B
Sing you to sleep when 
you’re hurt from the fall
    F#             C#/F      B  C# F#/Bb B x2
And somehow I will miss this all


Verse 3:
B
Let's burn this place down
     C#
and scatter the ashes
Ebm
Paint it with gasoline 
     C#/F
and start throwing matches
B
Somewhere in this wreck
  C#
remains dying love


(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus except last line)


    F#             C#/F      Ebm C#/F B
And somehow I will miss this all


Outro:
      F#
As we dance knowing 
     Ebm
that it’s our last one
   B
If these walls could talk 
C#
they’d tell us 
             Ebm C#/F B(hold)
it’s time to go
