Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  say you heard every  word, but I watched  you turn away
Your  eyes grew colder  than winter
"Love  is so intrusive,"  I thought  I heard you say
and  laugh so  unconvincingly
 (Famous last words)  Famous last words,
 "I'm not ready yet"
 "I won't be gone a minute"
Narrow  is the road  and too high  a price to pay
when  loneliness is such  a sanctuary.
Empty  are the musings  and wasted  are the days
when  you say you  were only waiting
 (Famous last words)  And famous last words,
 "I'm not ready yet"
 "I won't be gone a minute"  and I won't forget
 Famous last words
 If tomorrow never comes,  will I ever know  that I was in love?
 I was in love
 In love
 
 You say you heard every word, I watched you turn away
You  said you  were only waiting
 (Famous last words)  And famous last words,
 "I'm not ready yet"
 "I won't be gone a minute"  but I won't forget
 Famous last words
 If tomorrow never comes,  will I ever know  that I was in love?
 that I was in love
 (chorus 1)
