Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Stars
Your Ex-Lover is Dead -- Stars
Out of all the versions to choose from, I found them to be over-simplified or
unnecessarily complicated. Here's my compilation with full lyrics. Enjoy! --Travis

"When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire."

God that was [C]strange to see you [F]aga[-]in[G]
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a [F]taxi despite all the [Am]rain[-] [G]
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
Interlude
This scar is a [C]fleck on my porcelain [F]ski[-]n[G]
You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin........
It's nothing but [F]time and a face that you'll [Am]lose[-] [G]
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love
Bridge: repeat intro x4, 1st time instrumental
[Am]Live [Am/B]through [C]this[D/F#], and you [F]won't [F]look [C]back. x3 to C, F-G strumming
There's one thing I [C]want to say so I'll be [F]brave[-]. You [G]were what I
wanted, I gave what I gave. I'm not sorry I
met you, I'm not sorry it's over, I'm not sorry
there's nothing to save....... I'm not sorry (hold)
there's [F]nothing to save
Outro: F, Am-G instrumental x8, then intro x1
