Em Em/F# G Am C/B C
I swore the days were over of courting empty dreams
Em Em/F# G Am C/B C
I worshiped at the altar of losing everything
Em Em/F# G Am C/B C
And the guard I held together is losing all its shape
G Em C G
In my head you look so gorgeous, it's keeping me awake
Chorus:
Em Em/F# G C G
There's a scar on my soul so let me down easy
C G Em Em/F# C
Break my heart sweetly like you always do
C Em Em/F# G C G
I guess I can't let go 'til you wreck me completely
C D/F# C G
Break my heart sweetly, drape me in blue
I was never scared of nothing, I thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open cause I carried it alone
I'm finding all this well-worn sadness I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache every time you take a step
Chorus
I swore the days were over of courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the altar of losing everything
You had a halo made of diamonds, resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons but I'm dodging them instead
Chorus
