[C]Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
What a [F]strange thing to ask when I was taking you home
As we [C]walked alone through the parking lot
I said I [F]don't have much you said I like what you got
And I'd b[G]e lying if I said I didn't picture you then in y[F]our wedd[C]ing dress
And the [G]days I'd hope we'd some day spend in ou[F]r Sund[C]ay best
We were [F]light as a [C]flame
Both [F]bat-sht i[C]nsane
We were [F]lost but we were [G]just the [C]same
[C]Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
You were a [F]mystery to me but the place felt like home
And there[C] are no rules when you're falling in love
You just [F]take what you get and you hope it's enough
And I'd b[G]e lying if I said I didn't picture you then in y[F]our wedd[C]ing dress
And the [G]day's I'd hope we'd some day spend i[F]n our S[C]unday best
We were [F]wrong from the [C]start
With our[F] broken [C]arms
You played your [F]role and I [G]played my [C]part
(C from the intro)
And the road was [F]so l[C]ong
I was never [F]as [C]strong
As the [F]love that you [G]gave to [C]me
And it uttered [F]its t[C]oll
You become [F]so co[C]ld
You [F]forget what you were [G]born to [C]be
[C]Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
Those [F]people all turned to ashes and stone
It's [C]a trick of the mind when you think it wont end
It's [F]a contest with time that time always wins
I saw a [G]picture of you the other day in your [F]wedding [C]dress
And I [G]wondered why I walked away like I [F]had with the [C]rest
You were the o[F]nly thi[C]ng
That was [F]worth [C]saving
And I [F]swear I [G]did my [C]best
And s[G]ometimes at night I dream of you now in your [F]wedding [C]dress
And I [G]hope it doesn't seem somehow like [F]I gave yo[C]u less
I have [F]nothing to [C]show
From these [F]years on the [C]road
But these [F]songs that I [G]wrote for [C]you
