C Am F


[Verse 1]
C               Am                 F
You never had it, I never got it back
C                 Am                   F
I saw you wastin' everything you ever had
C         Am                       F
In violet, bargain your life for a flower
    C                    Am                         F
The last of your honor, to die thinking you were a coward


[Chorus]
            G
I loved you wrong in the sinking sun
             F
Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it
                G
The earth moved on and I'm scared of the thought
                     F
That I'm selling you on it


[Verse 2]
C    Am            F
I had it, I want it back
C               Am                  F
I'm gluing the pieces into a book I have
C                Am                  F
I know that it's sweet, black cherry pit
               C               Am                   F
I know what it eats, I know it exhausts me to carry it


[Chorus]
            G
I loved you wrong in the sinkin' sun
             F
Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it
               G
The earth moved on and I'm scared of the thought
                    F
That I'm selling you on it
             G
I'm a sinking boat
                                       F
Why don't you know that a plant won't grow in

The dead of the ocean?
                G
For the sake of all that is keeping us floatin'
        Am   F
And our eyes open


[Post-Chorus]
          G
A running engine

Through to the ending
    C     F
A divine omen


[Interlude]
C    Am   F


[Outro]
              C                   Am
(I loved you wrong in the sinking sun)
              F
(Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it)
             C                   Am
(I loved you wrong in the sinking sun)
              F
(Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it)
             C                   Am
(I loved you wrong in the sinking sun)
              F
(Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it)
