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

Chorus:
Em                Cadd9               G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say
        Em                   Cadd9
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
        G                     D
And the one for my body keeps running away
Em                Cadd9             G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways
Em           Cadd9        G                 D
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

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

Chorus:
Em                Cadd9             G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say
        Em                   Cadd9
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
        G                     D
And the one for my body keeps running away
Em                Cadd9             G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways
Em           Cadd9           G                 D
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

Bridge:
    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
Em
Tunes and a rhyme help me more than a therapist
I cannot wait til the day that we reminisce
Cadd9
Times that we changed and the plans that we made
We are growing and learning every single day
G
And no matter how hard that I try to change
Bm
The ghost boys won't go away
(x2)

Chorus:
Em                Cadd9                    G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say
        Em                   Cadd9
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
        G                     D
And the one for my body keeps running away
Em                Cadd9             G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways
Em           Cadd9        G                 D
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done
