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 A# 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 A# moments are a lifetime , nothing in a straight line D this could take a little while just to shake things off D A# down by water’s edge , under the dying tree G D i let my body slip , so dead inside of me D A# 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 A# 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 A# 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 A# 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 A# 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
