This is probably one of my favourite songs from his new album, I love the story
and emotion in these lyrics. So I thought I should tab this song for you guys.
I didn't really work out the intro with the finger picking because I wanted to
play and sing along as quick as possible haha, so that's open for interpretation.

end of intro G G/F#
EmWell, as a child I mostly Cspoke inside my Ghead G/F#
EmI had conversations with the Cclouds, the dogs, the Gdead G/F#
EmAnd they thought my broken, that my Ctongue was coated Glead
But I just Dcouldn't make my Cwords make sense to Emthem
If you only Dlisten with your Cears... I can't get inG G/F#
EmAnd I spent my evenings pullin' Cstars out of the Gsky G/F#
EmAnd I'd arrange them on the Clawn where I would Glie G/F#
EmAnd in the wind I'd taste the Cdreams of distant Glives
And I would Ddress myself up Cin them through the Emnight
While my Dfolks would sleep in Cseparate beds... and wonder Gwhy
woo's (G/F#, Em, C, G, G/F#, Em, C, G, G/F#, Em, C, G, D, C, Em, D, C, D, G, G/F#
EmAnd through them days I was a Cghost atop my Gchair G/F#
EmMy dad considered me a Ccross he had to Gbear G/F#
EmAnd in my head I'd sing Capologies and Gstare
As my Dmom would hang the Cclothes across the Emline
And she would Dtry to keep me Cempty... from her Geyes G/F#
EmSo, then one afternoon I Cdressed myself Galone G/F#
EmI packed my pillowcase with Ceverything I Gowned G/F#
EmAnd in my head I said &Cquot;goodbye," tGhen I was gone
And I Dset out on the Cheels of the Emunknown
So my Dfolks could have a Cnew life of their Emown
So that Dmaybe I could Cfind someone
Who could Dhear the only Cwords that I'd Gknown
woo's (the same chords again but ending on a D)
Hope this helps sorry if it feels rushed I'm writing this before work haha. Here's
