Verse 1stroke once)
   Em      C          G 
My head is filled with ruins 
        Em      C          G 
Most of them, I built with you 
        Em      C      G 
Now the dust no longer moves 
      Em          C        G    C G F G 
Don't disturb the ghost of you, mmm 
         Em     C        G 
They are empty, they are worn 
        Em      C          G 
Tell me what we built this for 
      Em     C         G 
On my way to somethin' more 
            Em    C     G       C G F G 
You're that one I can't ignore, mmm

Sometimes I wish we never built this palace

But real love is never a waste of time, mmm

        Em        C           G 
Yeah, I know just what you'€™re sayin' 
      Em     C    G 
And I regret ever complainin' 
           Em        C       G 
About this heart and all its breakin' 
       Em     C       G       C G F G 
It was beauty we were makin', mmm 
      Em         C         G 
And I know we'€™ll both move on 
           Em       C     G 
You'€™ll forgive what I did wrong 
          Em       C      G

But I still own the ghost of you, mmm
