[Intro]
Em   G


[Verse 1]
Em                                   G
   Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii

On both sides the vow was broken
Em
   Oh my my, I'm the one trying to hide this damage done
G
One day, all our secrets will be spoken


[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                   Em            D
  As we slow dance, I became your statue frozen
C                 Em            D
 ’Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke, yeah
C                 Em            D
  Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding
G               C             B7
Everything like we were never close


[Chorus 1]
                Em                       C
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it
                  G                     B7
I’ma strike these matches, never had control
                 Em                C
I'm ready to let go, was I fooling myself?
                  G                   B7
I'ma spread these ashes, never had control
                                       Em   G
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go


[Verse 2]
Em                                   G
   Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii

On holy ground our vows were broken
Em
   We met up, we broke bread, I was blue, your dress was red
      G
Ain't it strange, we both knew this day was coming


[Pre-Chorus 2]
C                   Em            D
  As we slow dance, I became your statue frozen
C                 Em            D
 ’Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke, yeah
C                 Em            D
  Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding
G               C             B7
Everything like we were never close


[Chorus 2]
                Em                       C
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it
                  G                     B7
I’ma strike these matches, never had control
                 Em                C
I'm ready to let go, was I fooling myself?
                  G                   B7
I'ma spread these ashes, never had control
                                       C
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go

[Chorus 3]
                Em                       C
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it
                  G                     B7
I’ma strike these matches, never had control
                 Em                C
I'm ready to let go, was I fooling myself?
                  G                   B7
I'ma spread these ashes, never had control
                      N.C.
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go
