Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “The Ruined Puzzle” dari Dashboard Confessional:
Verse 1:
B Bb7 B
This ruined puzzle is beige with the pieces all face down
B Bb7 F#sus4
so the placing goes slowly. The pictures of anything other than it's meant to be
F# B
But the hours they creep, the patterns repeat
Bb7 F#
Don't be concerned, you know I'll be fine on my own
F#7 B
I never said "don't go".
Chorus:
F# E
I've written a note, it's pressed between pages
B
that you've marked to find your way back
F# C#/F Bb
It says "Does he ever get the girl?"
F# E
But what if the pages stay pressed, the chapters unfinished
B
the stories too dull to unfold?
F# C#/F B
Does he ever get the girl?
Verse 2:
B Bb7
This basement's a coffin I'm buried alive
B B Bb7(plucking)
I'll die in here just to be safe. I'll die in here just to be safe
F# F#sus4 Bb7(plucking)
'Cause you're gone I get nothing and you're off with barely a sigh
F# F#7 B
I never said "Good-bye"
