G D Bm
πΈ Verse 1:
G D Bm A
I'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of
G D Bm
The dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose
G D Bm A
I'm drinkin' my days with a coastal on Shoreman
G D Bm
They got money to make and children back home
G D Bm A
The last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
G D Bm
Workin' your days at The Print
G D Bm A
I drink 'til I drown and I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
G D Bm
Your hands are all over my scent
G D Bm
I worry for you, you worry for me
G D Bm
And it's fine if we know we won't change
G D Bm A
Collect every dream in these old empty pockets
G D Bm A
In hope that I'll need 'em someday
πΈ Chorus:
D
But the wreckage of you
I no longer reside in
G D Bm
And the bridges have long since been burned
D
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
G D Bm
It starts to return to the Earth
D
I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
G D Bm
I know that you'll come if you want
D
It's not Halloween but the ghost you're dressed up as
G D Bm
Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, she knows how to haunt
πΈ Post-Chorus:
G D Bm A
Mm-hmm-mm
G D Bm
πΈ Verse 2:
G D Bm A
It's an ode to the hole that I found myself stuck in
G D Bm
The song for the grave that I dug
G D Bm A
There's a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
G D Bm
And I see your face in each one
G D Bm A
I'm losing myself in the tiniest objects
G D Bm
I'm seein' my life on a screen
G D Bm A
I'm hearin' your voice in a strange foreign language
G D Bm
If only I learned how to speak
πΈ Chorus:
D
But the wreckage of you
I no longer reside in
G D Bm
And the bridges have long since been burned
D
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
G D Bm
It starts to return to the Earth
D
I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
G D Bm
I know that you'll come if you want
D
It's not Halloween but the ghost you're dressed up as
G D Bm
Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, she knows how to haunt
πΈ Post-Chorus:
D
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
G D A
You know how to haunt
D
Know how to haunt
G D A
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
D G D A
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ah, ooh
D G D A
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
πΈ Outro:
G D Bm A
I know that you fear that I'm wicked and weary
G D Bm
I know that you fear in the end
G D Bm A
But I only tell the truth but I'm sure that I'm lyin'
G D Bm
So I'm settin' sail once again
