[Intro]
[Verso 1]
Em G
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On both sides the vow was broken
Em
Oh my my, I'm the one trying to hide this damage done
G
One day, all our secrets will be spoken
[Pré-Refrão]
C Em D
As we slow danced, I became your statue frozen
C Em D
'Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke, yeah
C Em D
Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding
G C B
Everything like we were never close
[Refrão]
Em C
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it
G B
I'ma strike these matches, never had control
Em C
I'm ready to let go, was I fooling myself?
G B
I'ma spread these ashes, never had control
Em G
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go
[Verso 2]
Em G
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On holy ground our vows were broken
Em
We met up, we broke bread, I was blue, your dress was red
G
Ain't it strange, we both knew this day was coming
[Pré-Refrão]
C Em D
As we slow dance, I became your statue frozen
[Refrão]
[Próxima Parte]
( Em D )
( C Em D )
( G C B )
[Refrão]
