The Fall Of Rome

E Whatever happened to the fall of Rome? A What a strange thing to ask when I was taking you home E As we walked alone through the parking lot A I said I don’t have much you said I like what you got B A E And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t picture you then in your wedding dress B A E And the days I’d hope we’d some day spend in our Sunday best A E We were light as a flame A E Both bat-shit insane A B E We were lost but we were just the same E Whatever happened to the fall of Rome? A You were a mystery to me but the place felt like home E And there are no rules when you’re falling in love A You just take what you get and you hope it’s enough B A E And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t picture you then in your wedding dress B A E And the day’s I’d hope we’d some day spend in our Sunday best A E We were wrong from the start A E With our broken arms A B E You played your role and I played my part (C from the intro) A E And the road was so long A E I was never as strong A B E As the love that you gave to me A E And it uttered its toll A E You become so cold A B E You forget what you were born to be E Whatever happened to the fall of Rome? A Those people all turned to ashes and stone E It’s a trick of the mind when you think it wont end A It’s a contest with time that time always wins B A E I saw a picture of you the other day in your wedding dress B A E And I wondered why I walked away like I had with the rest A E You were the only thing A E That was worth saving A B E And I swear I did my best B A E And sometimes at night I dream of you now in your wedding dress B A E And I hope it doesn’t seem somehow like I gave you less A E I have nothing to show A E From these years on the road A B E But these songs that I wrote for you
