F        Bb
Astoria, I'm warning ya
F              C
Not ready yet, not for ya
F                Bb
Don't wanna know my darkest lows
F                  C
My blackest pitch, murder of crows
F                    Bb
Feels far from home, close to the veil
F               C
Goodbye mothers fairy tale
F           Bb
Never after will suffice
F                        C               F
When star crossed lovers take their life
Bb  F F  C
Bb  F F  C


F             Bb
Now we begin, a harlequin
F             C
Kaleidoscope, in spite of when
F                 Bb
Top of the world, to lowest worth
F                    C
From blackest pearl, to slow rebirth


      F      C       Bb        Bb
Don't remind me what the price is
     Bb      F      Bb/F C
When left to my own devices
       F         C      Bb      Bb
'Cause I'll find out in all due time
     Bb      F    Bb/F    C
What happens to never say die

Oh, yeah, I'll say
                         Bb          F F  C
Whatever doesn't make me stronger kills me
               C  F  Bb      F F  C
But it's gonna be a long year
                      Bb          F F  C
'Til the hospital can find hope in me
      C     F  Bb

Do I survive you, Astoria?

  F#m     
A fevered blur
        F#m   
Through names obscured
    D
And speeches slur
D
What's another bridge burnt?
    F#m   
I'm on my own
    F#m  
You came alone
                  D
All dressed up in bad news
                   D
I know you've been hurt too
                  D
This would be the wrong move
                D
Maybe we should leave soon?

         F#m
You can lay with me while you think of him
            E
Drown our sorrows deep in each others skin
       D
I'll touch your face while I think of her
        E11 
I will raise my lips to the way we were
F#m
Bite my neck while you say his name
          E
I will scratch your back to forget her face
       D
Our regrets taste sweet through a soft liqueur
      E11             
We can raise our lips to the way we were

Hey, ever just say fuck it
           D              G       Gsus4  G
Maybe I'll drink this all away in buckets
   D    G                 Gsus4  G
Oh hey, might as well say fuck it
        D           G       Gsus4
I wanna hurt myself until I love it
D                                 A
I should've known you're not alone when you take somebody home and
Bm                                 G
The little deaths are a little less

Even if just for a moment
D                 A
Hey, lets all say fuck it
          Bm                      C
