[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.
                        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.
