[Intro]
Am G Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
Am                   G
This is a dark parade
                       Fmaj7
Another rough patch to rain on, 
to rain on
Am                            G
I know your friends may say
                         Fmaj7
This is the cause of celebration, 
hip hip hooray

[Pre-Chrous]
    G                            
The photographs and sepia tones, 
                    C      
so still the fire’s barely 
             Fmaj7
fighting the cold, alone
           G
There were times when I 
could feel your ghost
              C      
Just when I'm almost 
            Fmaj7
letting you go
    G
The cards were stacked 
against us both

[Chorus]
C             G
I will always love you 
for what it's worth
Dm         C        F
Never fade like graffiti 
on the overpass
C               G
I know time may change the 
way we think of us
Dm                        C
But I remember the way we were
             F
You were the first full stop
                     G
Love that will never leave
G
Baby, you'll never be lost on me

[Post-Chorus]
Am                    G
  Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
                   Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh

[Verse 2]
Am                    G
This is goddamn shame
                Fmaj7
Never wanted to break it or 
leave us tainted
Am                    G
Now I should walk away
                   Fmaj7
But I just can't replace us 
or even erase us

[Pre-Chorus]
G
The car was stuck 
the engine stalled
               C          
And both of us got caught 
           Fmaj7
out in the snow, alone
           G
There were times where 
I’d forget the lows
                         C   
And think the highs were all 
               Fmaj7
that we’d ever known
G
The cards were stacked 
against us both

[Chorus]
C             G
I will always love you for 
what it's worth
Dm         C        F
Never fade like graffiti 
on the overpass
C               G
I know time may change 
the way we think of us
Dm                        C
But I remember the way we were
             F
You were the first full stop
                     G
Love that will never leave
G
Baby, you'll never be lost on me
