Verse:
G+G       A minorAm      E minorEm
On my way home from the store
              A minorAm
I bought your favourite colour
D MajorD              A minorAm
So we can paint your room together
A augmentedA        C minorCm
I'll cover your ceiling with nebulas
G+G                A minorAm
I'm not really sure if you'll remember
E minorEm               A minorAm
But in that one moment last summer I felt
D MajorD                 A minorAm
Pretty good with being alive and all
A augmentedA                C minorCm
It seems memories are all we've got

Chorus:
E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say
    E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
    G+G           D MajorD
And the one for my body keeps running away
E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways
E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         D MajorD
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

Verse:
G+G          A minorAm
Do you think of me anymore
E minorEm            A minorAm
As someone you can talk to
D MajorD                A minorAm
When your face turns to grey-blue
A augmentedA         C minorCm
I know you, you're not anti-social
G+G                A minorAm
I'm constantly aware that we're sinking
E minorEm                      A minorAm
And the spirit boys never let me refrain from thinking
D MajorD                       A minorAm
That it's only a matter of time before we break
     A augmentedA          C minorCm
It seems optimism's all we've got at this point

Chorus:
E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say
    E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
    G+G           D MajorD
And the one for my body keeps running away
E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways
E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9      G+G         D MajorD
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

Bridge:
  G+G
But I'm not an optimist you out of all know this
Sad kids we rhyme like this and all that I know is
E minorEm
Tunes and a rhyme help me more than a therapist
I cannot wait til the day that we reminisce
Cadd9Cadd9
Times that we changed and the plans that we made
We are growing and learning every single day
G+G
And no matter how hard that I try to change
B minorBm
The ghost boys won't go away
(x2)

Chorus:
E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say
    E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
    G+G           D MajorD
And the one for my body keeps running away
E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways
E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         D MajorD
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done
