[Verse 1]

    
The procession went smoothly, 
    
the lights low and dim. 
  
I raised my clear glass, 
      
and I toast times to heaven. 
    
But you're not the same love
     
that I used to know. 
           
Well, I'll break this guitar 
    
and board up these windows. 
                                          
Just make sure they know...that I won't return.

[Chorus]

                   
With my bloody lips, 
                     
and your broken arms, 
                
we'll turn into one 
                        
and we'll sing the same song. 
                
With my sinking feet 
               
and your heavy heart, 
             
no don't you start.

no don't you start this again.

[Intro Riff]

[Verse 2 (Same chord progression)]
This house screams of memories
and half-written songs,
with the chance of completion
depending on love.
This disconnected phone,
well, it is seldom to speak.
Although, when it does
its so harsh and complete. 

[Chorus]

, ,
                       
No dont you start, dont you start. [X2]

[Intro Riff]

Then strum a G chord.


Thats it! You're done!
