D#                     A#
You said, "Who are we fooling?"
                  Cm
I guess that you gave up
              G#                  A#
On all that I am and all that I'm not
                   D#                      A#
'Cause I'm fucking useless and full of excuses
                 Cm
I guess that you cut free
                 G#                  A#
From all that we are and will never be

        Cm          A#             G#
Now the flowers are dead like the hearts in our
  A#
chest
        Cm         A#               G#
And I'm hanging my head 'cause I'm tryna forget
       A#            A#            A#          A# D#
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled

Chorus:
D#                A#        Cm
So, this is where we ended up
             G#                         D#
All of those years that I wasted for love
                A#            Cm
And, here it is, forevermore
                 G#                           Cm
The house is on fire and I can't find the door
             Cm/B              Cm/A#
If I had the heart to start it again
                  Cm/A                    G#
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
         G#m                         D#
Say, you ain't gonna like how this ends

You know, if we went back
To fix what we once had
There'd still be no chance
For you and me 'cause inevitably

All the flowers would die,
and the tears from your eyes
Would come as no surprise as I tried to forget
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled

Chorus:
So, this is where we ended up
All of those years that I wasted for love
And, here it is, forevermore
The house is on fire and I can't find the door
If I had the heart to start it again
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
No, you ain't gonna like how this ends

A#                     G#
Broken with no way to mend
        G#m                          Cm
No, you ain't gonna like how this ends
     A#                       G#
I'm stuck and just tryna forget
       G#m
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled

Chorus:
So, this is where we ended up
All of those years that I wasted for love
And here it is, forevermore
The house is on fire and I can't find the door
If I had the heart to start it again
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
Say, you ain't gonna like how this ends
