Verse 1
 
C                    D                      Em 
  Its the third of October, you should come over 
Em                             C 
Best laid plans are not sober 
                  D                          Em 
And maybe not the way we thought we planned 
Em 
Both of us will take this hand 
C                D                   Em 
For a couple of days then we'll disappear 
Em                                          C 
We don't have to talk of where we go from here 
    D            Em 
Oh, my dearly departed, 
  C  D            Em 
Mmm, my dearly departed 
 
Refrain
 
    C 
One final shoulder 
C                       Em 
Here before they're none 
D                    C 
And then there were none 
 
Chorus
 
     Em              G         C 
This last call could be all we can do for each other 
Em          G          C 
Embrace for a dear old friend 
C 
Bring wine to bed 
     Em D G       C             Em 
We'll  toast what could have been 
D            C 
My dearly departed 
  Em D            C 
To,   my dearly departed 
 
Verse 2
 
C                   D 
I don't know how to mend it 
                  Em 
But this chapter ended 
Em                                    C 
When all of my plans have depended on you 
               D                        Em 
But at least tonight we'll still pretend 
Em                                        C 
Hold each other close like its not the end 
                       D                              Em 
And you can send me balloons, and we can laugh at the doom 
Em                                               C 
We both thought of that doesn't it say something to 
   D           Em 
Oh my dearly departed, 
  C  D            Em 
Ohh, my dearly departed 
 
Refrain
 
C 
One final shoulder 
C                   Em 
Here before we're none 
  D                 C 
Until (there) are none 
 
Chorus
 
     Em              G         C 
This last call could be all we can do for each other 
Em          G          C 
Embrace for a dear old friend 
C 
Bring wine to bed 
     Em D G       C             Em 
We'll  toast what could have been 
D            C 
My dearly departed 
  Em D           C 
To   my dearly departed 
 
Bridge
 
      Em              G 
Every masterpiece I'd write again 
       D 
You'll always be my porcelain 
  Em                     G 
I crossed my heart but I stuttered too 
   D 
So truth or dare was I good to you? 
        Em                G 
Haven't had enough of you all to myself 
      D 
Still right beside you in sickness and health 
   Em         D              C 
Forever after you will be my home 
                       Em  D   C 
And there's no place like home 
 
Outro
 
C                 D                               Em 
We never sent the cards, they're all still on the table 
                                      C 
Wanna throw them out but I'm just not able 
D            Em      C 
My dearly departed 
D               Em      G      C 
My dearly departed

Toast what could what could have been
