Intro:
Bm-A-G--F#m-
Bm-G-D-A-


Verse 1:
Bm             A
All my friends have
G
gone away Sailing
vessels leaving the
F#m         Bm
bay For the best
           A
four years and the
G
promise of pay But
     D
they don’t even know
             A
what they’re chasing
G
Greater men have
Bm        A
tried and failed


Chorus 1:
    G
And all this time
  D            Bm
I thought that I’d
     A
stay As a ghost who
      Bm
would haunt this
    D/F#     G
mountain And all
            D
this time I thought
          Bm   A
that I’d stay Alive
in the ground
        Bm     A     D
digging out my coffin


Verse 2:
G
Time was short on
courts and pavement
We knew we had to
                D
leave But did I make
the most of every day
And did I give to not
                   G
receive? Are there any
better words to express
the full extent of my
      G        D/F#
grief? It hits home
A         D
  It hits home when
           Bm
you’re not home
A                G
where you’re not home
            D/F#
There’s no space to
         A
grow and all this
         D       Bm  A
time not much to show


Chorus 2:
    G
And all this time
  D            Bm
I thought that I’d
     A
stay As a ghost who
      Bm
would haunt this
    D/F# G
mountain Maybe I
       D       Bm
should hold my tongue
          A
And do my best to live
          Bm
with the stress that’s
A       G
mounting I never thought
  D            Bm  A
I never thought  a bond
                 Bm    D/F#
was something we lacked
G               D         Bm
  I gotta find another way
   A             Bm  A G(hold)
to keep myself intact


Interlude: G D/F# A G D/F# D x2


Bridge:
  G
I understand we all
      D/F#
went away so we could
A         G
have the stories to
                 D/F# D
share when we’re back
G                 D/F#
  Try to pass the same
    A              G
old shit to get a ahead
and start your paper
 D/F# D G
stack    I never thought
  D/F# A          G
I never thought a bond
                 D/F#  D
was something we lacked
G
  I guess some of us just
D/F#     A         G
needed a change to heal
             D/F#   D
the bones we cracked


Interlude: G D/F# A D Bm A x2


Outro:
         G         D/F# A
It takes four years
 D             Bm
away from your friends
   A        G      D/F#
To make you all forget
    A    D         Bm  A G(hold)
