NIKI - Autumn

                [Intro]
D Bm G  A
 
[Verse 1]
D                               Bm      G       A
I carved my name, into your ribcage
D                               Bm      G       A
We talked of lands, away from this cage
D
You said, “Don't fret love, someday I’ll be my own man.
Bm
I’ll be free”
 
[Chorus]
                       G
Oh, but darling did you mean
                   A                 D
Darling did you mean, free from me?
D
You promised home,
                        Bm              G       A
The kind I've never known
                   D
But here we are
D
Skin and flesh and beating hearts
                         G                               A
I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wrong
               D
You said, “let's make ourselves our very own brigade.
                             Bm
This love our shield our blade”
 
[Chorus]
                        G
Oh, but darling did you see
                        A
The cuts from which I bleed
                 D
It's me you've slain
 
D               A
I didn't obliterate these walls for you
                        D
To come and raid my home
G
And here you are, right next to me
A                                   D
Ironically, I've never felt more alone
                                Bm      G       A
I fell for you, faster than I fell apart
 
[Chorus]
        D
And I guess I'm the one to blame
                     G                  A
For letting myself fall too hard
D
I ripped my heart and put it in your hands
                A               D
In hopes that we’d put up a fight
             G                          A
How paradoxical, since now all I can think about
                         D
Is when will we stop trying
                       Bm
Ohhhh, how Do we stay afloat
           G       A    D
When Do I let go
D
All you Do is blindside me, it's hard to be brave
               G                                A
but when the night cuts into the day it's your love I crave,
   G                                   A
I must've thanked my lucky stars too much,
                                 D
they left me sitting in too much dust
 
[Outro]
D
You know all my dreams
D
You were one, so it seemed 
        Bm
And I loved you but with you
      G
it's heartache I breathe
A                                                           D
You showed me your heart but you never let me have the key
D
Oh, my love
D
Is this the end for us?
D
Maybe we’ve had enough
