[Verse]
C F Am
We dressed up for your funeral in our nicest borrowed clothes.
F C
I put on dress shoes that I stole and ran out.
F Am
And we made way for the roundabouts of a still suburban town
F Am G C
The snow was scattered on the ground and I thought
[Pre-chorus]
C Am G C
Before you left did you say all you wanted to?
C Am G C
Before you died did you do all you meant to do?
C Am G C
Could you look it in the eyes when it came for you?
C
Tell me how it ends.
[Chorus]
F
Cause you lived like a tightrope walker
C Am C
While I was on a phone call somewhere else
F
When you fell I couldn’t catch you
C Am C
I was getting drunk all by myself
G Am F G C F
And the hardest part was to show up here at all
[Verse]
C F Am
As we listened to your eulogy from that priest you didn’t know
F C
I half wrote letters to your nonexistent ghost
F Am
Hey Jazmine are you listening? I know I never return calls
F Am G C
But if you’re there at all just tell me
[Pre-chorus]
C Am G C
Before you left did you say all you wanted to?
C Am G C
Before you died did you do all you meant to do?
C Am G C
Could you look it in the eyes when it came for you?
C
Tell me how it ends.
[Chorus]
F
Was it just the dope that failed you
C Am C
Or did everyone just let you down?
F
Is there a way I could have saved you
C Am C
If I was there would you still be around?
G Am F G C5
The hardest things just can’t be known at all
[Interlude]

[Outro]
F
I don’t know the whole truth
C
But I know a piece was buried with you
F
I don’t know the whole truth
C
But I know a piece was buried with you
