D Bm E A
[Verse 1]
D
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
Bm
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
E A
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away
D
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Bm
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
E A
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe
D Bm E
Thinking how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
A
Oh, the tragedy
[Chorus]
Bm D A E
So long London
Bm D A E
You'll find someone
[Verse 2]
D
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
Bm
I founded the club she's heard great things about
E A
I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath
D
I stopped CPR, after all it's no use
Bm
The spirit was gone, we would never come to
E A
And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free
[Chorus]
Bm D A E
For so long, London
Bm D A E
Stitches undone
Bm D A E
Two graves, one gun
Bm D A E
I'll find someone
[Bridge]
F#m A
And you say I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it
E Bm
My white-knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment
F#m
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
A E
Every day of a love affair, every breath feels like rarest air
Bm
When you're not sure if he wants to be there
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A E Bm
So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
F#m
How much tragedy?
A E
Just how low did you think I'd go 'fore I'd self-implode?
Bm D
'Fore I'd have to go be free?
[Chorus]
D
You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
Bm
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
E A
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
D Bm
And I'm just getting color back into my face
E A
I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place for
[Post-Chorus]
Bm D A E
So long, London
Bm D A E
Had a good run
Bm D A E
A moment of warm sun
Bm D A E
But I'm not the one
Bm D A E
So long, London
Bm D A E
Stitches undone
Bm D A E
Two graves, one gun
Bm D A E
You'll find someone
