Fm                                   G#
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On both sides the vow was broken
Fm
Oh my my, I'm the one trying
to hide this damage done
G#
One day, all our secrets will be spoken

C#                Fm              D#
As we slow dance, I became your statue frozen
C#               Fm             D#
’Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke, yeah
C#               Fm            D#
Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding
G#               C#             C7
Everything like we were never close

Chorus:
                Fm                        C#
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it
                  G#                     C7
I’ma strike these matches, never had control
                 Fm                 C#
I'm ready to let go, was I fooling myself?
                  G#                   C7
I'ma spread these ashes, never had control
                                       Fm G#
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go

Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On holy ground, our vows were broken
We met up, we broke bread
I was blue, your dress was red
Ain't it strange?
We both knew this day was coming

As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
Times I wonder are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes,
still withholding everything
Like we were never close

Chorus - x2
