Lyrics

[Intro]
| Fm | - | Ab | - |

[Verse 1]
Fm
  Sun went down,
             Fm     Ab
sun went down  over Pompeii
                                Fm
On both sides the vow was broken
Oh my my, I'm the one
Trying to hide this damage done
Ab
One day, all our secrets will be spoken

[Pre-Chorus]
Db
  As we slow dance,
  Fm             Eb
I became your statue frozen
     Db
Times  I wonder,
    Fm               Eb
are we just a puff of  smoke? Yeah
  Db                Fm
Underneath this bed of ashes,
      Eb           Ab
still withholding everything
        Db              C
Like we were never close

[Chorus]
                   Fm
Don't you worry, baby,
                          Db
no sense trying to change it
                     Ab
I'ma strike these matches,
never had control
C                    Fm
I'm ready to let go, no,
                Db
was I fooling myself?
                   Ab
I'ma spread these ashes,
never had control
C
I'm ready, I'm ready,
I'm ready to let go

  went down, sun went down over Pompeii
                                       Fm
On holy ground, our vows were broken We
met up, we broke bread
I was blue your dress was red,
         Ab
ain't it strange?
We both knew this day was coming
