Ellabrlla16 - Nine Days

Capo: 3rd fret 


[Verso 1]


G                   Em 
I fell like the rain on an August night, 
C                     D 
Soft and unseen, but heavy with light. 
G                     Em 
Your eyes were a door I was never meant to find, 
C                     D 
A fleeting invitation, a trick of the mind. 


[Pré-Refrão]

 
Em                  C 
You carried the sun in the palm of your hand, 
G                     D 
While I chased the shadows I didn’t understand. 


[Refrão]


G                     Em 
And now I’m left in the silence, 
C                     D 
A heart that aches with defiance. 
G                   Em 
I gave you my light, but it burned me whole, 
C                   D 
Now I’m an echo, a half of a soul. 
G                     Em 
You were the flame, I was the moth, 
C                  D 
I flew to you knowing I’d be lost. 
Em                  C 
Now I wander the ruins, searching in vain, 
G                  D 
For the pieces of love that still whisper your name. 


[Verso 2]


G                   Em 
I painted your name in a sky full of grey, 
C                      D 
Hoping the storm might wash it away. 
G                   Em 
But love is a ghost that lingers too long, 
C                      D 
A bittersweet echo in a half-written song. 


[Pré-Refrão]


Em                     C 
You promised the world with a fleeting glance, 
G                     D 
But left me alone in the wreckage of chance. 


[Refrão]


G                     Em 
And now I’m left in the silence, 
C                     D 
A heart that aches with defiance. 
G                   Em 
I gave you my light, but it burned me whole, 
C                   D 
Now I’m an echo, a half of a soul. 
G                     Em 
You were the flame, I was the moth, 
C                  D 
I flew to you knowing I’d be lost. 
Em                  C 
Now I wander the ruins, searching in vain, 
G                  D 
For the pieces of love that still whisper your name. 


[Ponte]


Am                    F 
I built you a cathedral of fragile dreams, 
C                      E 
Lit every candle, but you tore at the seams. 
Am                   F 
I wrote you in verses of winter and spring, 
C                      E 
But seasons don’t stay-they take everything. 
Am                  F 
You were the ghost of a wish I once made, 
C                   E 
A fleeting mirage that just couldn’t stay. 
Am                     F 
Now the moon’s just a liar, the stars betray, 
C                    E 
They watched us crumble, then turned away. 


[Refrão]


G                     Em 
And now I’m left in the silence, 
C                     D 
A heart that aches with defiance. 
G                   Em 
I gave you my light, but it burned me whole, 
C                   D 
Now I’m an echo, a half of a soul. 
G                     Em 
You were the flame, I was the moth, 
C                  D 
I flew to you knowing I’d be lost. 
Em                  C 
Now I wander the ruins, searching in vain, 
G                  D 
For the pieces of love that still whisper your name. 


Outro 

G                   Em 
I loved you like ruins love ivy to climb, 
C                      D 
Slowly and surely, erased by time. 
G                     Em 
Now the air tastes of endings, sharp and cold, 
C                     D 
A love burned too quickly, withered and old. 
G                   Em 
I trace every memory, soft and untrue, 
C                  D 
Because all I have left is the ghost of you.
