Careful Gaze - Lost My Name

[Intro]
B E

[Verse 1]
G#m F#
I hope there’s a deity that can absolve all the holes to which I’ve crawled
F E
If the answer indeed is no, one more look before I go
G#m F#
I am a one man firing squad, into the skin, shall deeply prod
F E
In the shape of typing keys – oh the bullets cut to bleed
G#m F#
I realize you are my wife, but your tongue is like a knife
F E
One that carves into my heart, this will tear our home apart

[Pre-Chorus]
F# B
Well I think we’re in a bit of trouble now

[Chorus]
B
We promised love that would last to the grave
E
But our lives took a turn and oh, how you’ve changed, my darling my darling
B
Yeah, I realize I was partially to blame
E
But you were so, so quick to abandon my name, my darling my darling

[Verse 2]
G#m
It’s like every single promise that we ever did make
F#
Was forgotten in an instant when you lost my name
B E
And you love him more than you love me and it’s killing me Oh it’s killing me
G#m
But if that was the last night that we kissed
F#
I hope you had the realization then
B E
That I never, never, no I never wanted this
G#m F#
I hope this game of cheap romance ends before I have the chance
F E
To ever touch the skin of this tempting mess I’m in
G#m F#
I hope I learn where wrong begins, I hope I devastate that bridge
F E
Because you looked me in the eyes: “48 hours, love, goodbye”
G#m F#
And this is breeding every type of hate that I never wished to create
F E
What a horrid way to set the tone for an awful life alone

[Pre-Chorus]
F# B
Well I don’t think we’ll get out of this one now

[Chorus]
B
We promised love that would last to the grave
E
But our lives took a turn and oh, how you’ve changed, my darling my darling
B
Yeah, I realize I was partially to blame
E
But you were so, so quick to abandon my name, my darling my darling

[Verse 3]
G#m
It’s like every single promise that we ever did make
F#
Was forgotten in an instant when you lost my name
B E
And you love him more than you love me and it’s killing me Oh it’s killing me
G#m
But if that was the last night that we kissed
F#
I hope you had the realization then
B E
That I never, never, wanted this

[Bridge]
B
I’m gonna pray you see the morning light
B
I’m gonna force myself to open up my eyes
E
I’m gonna pledge to stop telling myself lies
E
I’m gonna tell myself it’s gonna be alright
B
I’m gonna start again in an empty house (gonna start again in an empty house)
B
I’m gonna find a purpose to sing about (gonna find a purpose to sing about)
E
I’m gonna let you know that I’m still your man (gonna let you know that I’m still your man)
E
I’m gonna pray that someday you care again (gonna preay that someday you care again)

[Chorus]
N.C.
We promised love that would last to the grave
E
But our lives took a turn and oh, how you’ve changed, my darling my darling
B N.C.
Yeah, I realize I was partially to blame
E
But you were so, so quick to abandon my name, my darling my darling

[Verse 4]
G#m
But it’s like every single promise that we ever did make
F#
Was forgotten in an instant when you lost my name
B E
And you love him more than you love me and it’s killing me Oh it’s killing me
G#m
But if that was the last night that we kissed
F#
I hope you had the realization then
B E
That I never, never, wanted this
