             E    F#m
I am such a sucker
        G#m         A
And I'm always the last to know
E          F#m
My insides    are copper
G#m          A
I'd kill to make them gold

E            F#m
Conversation got me here
 G#m                        A
Another night alone in the city
     E              F#m
So, make my bed my grave
           G#m        A
And shovel dirt onto my sheets

A      F#m
Every friend we ever had in common
A      C#m              B                   A
I will sever the ties, sever the ties with you
             F#m
And you can thank your lucky stars
     A
'cos everything I wished for
will never come true

Chorus:
E    F#m
When you go
A         G#m        A     E     F#m A G#m A
I will forget everything about you
E    F#m
When you go
A         G#m        A     E     F#m A G#m A
I will forget everything about you

E
I, I've seen sinking ships go down
          F#m        G#m A
with more grace than you

Turn this up, I'll tune you out
Another night alone in the city, yeah
Fake it like you matter,
That's a lie we can both keep up

Every friend we ever had in common
I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you
You can thank your lucky stars
Everything I wish for will never come true

Chorus

E F#m         C#m
     I will forget
          A
When you go
                            E
(I will forget everything about you)
         F#m
When you go
                           C#m     A
(I will forget everything about you)

Every friend we ever had in common
I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you
You can thank your lucky stars
Everything I wish for will never come true
