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             B  
Everything like we were never close  


[Refrão]
                Em                       C  
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it  
                  G                     B  
I’ma strike these matches, never had control  
                 Em                C  
I'm ready to let go, was I feeling myself  
                  G                   B  
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             B  
Everything like we were never close

                Em                       C  
Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it  
                  G                     B  
I’ma strike these matches, never had control  
                 Em                C  
I'm ready to let go, was I feeling myself  
                  G                   B  
I'ma spread these ashes, never had control  
                                       C  
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go
