Ghost


Bm G I will be the one to let this roof cave in on me Bm G Buried in this house, this wooden graveyard by the sea Bm A We push away our families to understand our needs G Gm The love and all the hate I used to hold in front of me Bm G Restless nights, all dizzy spells, all sand between my sheets Bm G Showing signs of thirst like dried-out, boardwalk-blistered feet Bm G And now I know I never knew about you, only me Bm G We carried this inside like some disease we couldn't beat D But we could work, try to live and get by G To make 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 Bb Down by water's edge, under the dying tree G D I let my body slip, so dead inside of me D Bb But when I came around, some kind of murky face Bm I don't ever want to be alone like this Bm G And I will tuck into you like I always long to be Bm G Shadows just a shade of black now, darkness in degree Bm G Oh it was you who knew we first saw this wasn't meant for kids like me Bm G Some hoodoo natural force we only feel 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 C#m Bm I have no choice but to be vicious on my feet Bb I never sleep, I never eat D I am learning how to be lost completely D A But I want to be found, Bm We crave things we push away Bb These patterns cut like every day D I need you to reach; I need you to need me D Bm Down by water's edge, under a dying tree G D I let my body slip, so dead inside of me D Bm But when I came around some kind of murky face G D Shaking my bones put me back in my place D Bm I don't ever want to be alone like this G D For me, by the presence of the things I miss D Bm I don't ever want to be alone like this G D For me, by the presence of the things I miss D Bm G Well, I am becoming the ghost of myself D Bm G Oh, I am becoming a ghost of myself D Bm G Trapped little secrets, little things we never tell D Bm G Now I am becoming the ghost of myself End on D
