My Beautiful Ruins

C   F   C
Am G C F


[verse 1]

C                       F           G C
Dear city of ghosts and great fires
C
Of brick and mortar and steel
F                          G C
Of wind and telephone wires
C                                 F        G C
Just thought I'd write to you and tell you
C                          F
How much I'll miss my feet traversing your geography


[chorus]

Am     G         F
All my songs are yours
Am       C         F
All your songs are mine
C                                     F
Hope you'll take me back from time to time


[insrumental]

C      Am G C F


[verse 2]

C                          F               G C
My city of golden arms and good luck charms
C                      F               G C
My river of time is the 22 Clock Street bus line
C                              F        G C
Maybe someday you'll write and tell me
C
How much you miss me
C          F
Now that I finally left for someone else


[chorus]

Am     G         F
All my songs are yours
Am       C         F
All your songs are mine
Am     G         F
All my songs are yours
Am       C         F
All your songs are mine
C                                     F
Hope you'll take me back from time to time


[instrumental]

Am   G   C   F
Am   G   C   F


[verse 3]

Dm                            G
The way you made me feel that night
C                      F        Am
It's like you loved me all your life
Dm                              G
And no time will have passed at all
       C                 G                  Am
When I return to recount the stories of our lives
Dm                          G
And even though we've grown apart
C                      G             Am
Without you I could've never gone so far


[outro]

Dm              G
Alas, my oldest friend
C          G                   Am
We've been together through it all
Dm              G
Alas, my oldest friend
C                G             Am
I'll be thinking of you in the end
G      F
In the end
