Ghost

[Bm]I will be the one to let this r[G]oof cave in on me
[Bm]Buried in this house, this wooden grav[G]eyard by the sea
We p[Bm]ush away our families to unde[A]rstand our needs
The lo[G]ve and all the hate I used to h[Gm]old in front of me

[Bm]Restless nights, all dizzy spells, all s[G]and between my sheets
[Bm]Showing signs of thirst like dried-out, boar[G]dwalk-blistered feet
And n[Bm]ow I know I never knew ab[G]out you, only me
We car[Bm]ried this inside like some dis[G]ease we couldn't beat

But we could w[D]ork, try to live and get by
To ma[G]ke our family in this second-floor apartment
[Bb]Standing on the threshold, body out in flesh, cold
[D]Go ahead and celebrate the things you lost

[D]Try to breathe, to flex and release
[G]To cry and work in such an underrated ‘partment
[Bb]Moments are a lifetime, nothing in a straight line
[D]This could take a little while just to shake things off

[D]Down by water's edge,[Bb] under the dying tree
[G]I let my body slip,[D] so dead inside of me
[D]But when I came around[Bb], some kind of murky face
[Bm]I don't ever want to be alone like this

And [Bm]I will tuck into you like I alw[G]ays long to be
[Bm]Shadows just a shade of black now, dar[G]kness in degree
Oh it was [Bm]you who knew we first saw this wasn't me[G]ant for kids like me
Some ho[Bm]odoo natural force we only f[G]eel we never see

[D]But as we break in time, a brotherly sigh
[G]Their heads got smaller ‘till they vanished into silence
[Bb]Sinking into white foam, running to a new home
[D]They can only understand the things we see

[D]Just cease, desist, and leave me like this
[G]Their eyes wide open, the beauty of the bright lights
[Bb]Standing on a threshold, body out in flesh, cold
[D]I don't ever want to be alone like this, no

[D]I have no c[C#m]hoice but to be vi[Bm]cious on my feet
I never sl[Bb]eep, I never eat
I am le[D]arning how to be lost completely
But I w[D]ant to be fo[A]und,
We crave th[Bm]ings we push away
These patterns [Bb]cut like every day
I need y[D]ou to reach; I need you to need me

[D]Down by water's edge[Bm], under a dying tree
[G]I let my body slip,[D] so dead inside of me
[D]But when I came aroun[Bm]d some kind of murky face
[G]Shaking my bones put me b[D]ack in my place

[D]I don't ever want to be a[Bm]lone like this
[G]For me, by the presence of the th[D]ings I miss
[D]I don't ever want to be al[Bm]one like this
[G]For me, by the presence of the th[D]ings I miss

[D]Well, I am beco[Bm]ming the gh[G]ost of myself
[D]Oh, I am becom[Bm]ing a gh[G]ost of myself
[D]Trapped little se[Bm]crets, little t[G]hings we never tell
[D]Now I am beco[Bm]ming the gh[G]ost of myself

End on [D]
