[Verse 1]
  D
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
  Bm
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
E                                                A
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away
   D
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Bm
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
  E                                                             A
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe
        D                    Bm                    E
Thinking how much sad did you  think I had, did you think I had in me?
A
 Oh, the tragedy
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm D    A  E
So long London
Bm     D    A   E
You'll find someone
 
 
[Verse 2]
  D
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
  Bm
I founded the club she's heard great things about
  E                                                A
I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath
  D
I stopped CPR, after all it's no use
    Bm
The spirit was gone, we would never come to
        E                                                 A
And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free
 
 
[Chorus]
    Bm D     A  E
For so long, London
Bm  D    A E
Stitches undone
Bm  D       A   E
Two graves, one gun
Bm   D    A   E
I'll find someone
 
 
[Bridge]
        F#m                                A
And you say I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it
         E                          Bm
My white-knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment
                    F#m
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
      A                           E
Every day of a love affair, every breath feels like rarest air
                Bm
When you're not sure if he wants to be there
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                       A                    E                  Bm
   So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
              F#m
How much tragedy?
                    A                      E
Just how low did you think I'd go 'fore I'd self-implode?
         Bm                D
'Fore I'd  have to go be free?
 
 
[Chorus]
    D
You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
  Bm
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
    E                                        A
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
        D                       Bm
And I'm just getting color back into my face
    E                         A
I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place for
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Bm D     A  E
So long, London
Bm  D A    E
Had a good run
  Bm D      A    E
A moment of warm sun
    Bm  D   A   E
But I'm not the one
Bm D     A  E
So long, London
Bm  D    A E
Stitches undone
Bm  D       A   E
Two graves, one gun
Bm     D    A   E
You'll find someone

these chords work but it just doesn't have the same sad feeling the actual song does. it's a little cheery sounding

I‘m not sure if i see it correctly, but i think in the chorus it actually switches to: Bm D A E
