[Verse 1]
C Em
The last words you spoke
Am
Fell from flaming lips
G
Like an ember
C Em
I’d hoped that we’d meet again
Am
But stormy nights like these
G
Help me remember
[Chorus]
F G C F G C
Must I let you go, leaving me alone
F G Am G F C
I could cry but I’ll say, “Nice to meet you”
[Instrumental]
C Em Am G

[Verse 2]
C
It’s written on a face still stained with hope
Em
Reading all the poetry I never wrote
Am G
Lights the bed on fire and I’m burning (And I’m burning)
C
Seeing the demise dripping from your eyes
Em
Watch the tears fill a cup full of compromise
Am G
As the angel sighs, so unwise (So unwise)
[Chorus]
F G C F G C
Must I let you go, leaving me alone
F G Am G F Fm C
I could cry but I’ll say, “Nice to meet you”
[Bridge]

Everything you wish you could erase
G# C
Memories you wish you could replace
Bb F G
You take all the blame but you would never take my place
[Chorus]
F G C F G C
Now that we’re outside, I should say, “Goodbye”
F G C G Am G F Fm C
Instead I’ll lie and say, “It’s oh so very nice to meet you”
[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh

C’mon, c’mon

Singing it out

Oh, it’s so very nice………….
[Outro]

I’ll just say, “It’s oh so very nice to meet you”
