BmI will be the one to let this rGoof cave in on me
BmBuried in this house, this wooden gravGeyard by the sea
We pBmush away our families to undeArstand our needs
The loGve and all the hate I used to hGmold in front of me
Bm G
Restless nights, all dizzy spells, all sand between my sheets
Bm G
Showing signs of thirst like dried-out, boardwalk-blistered feet
Bm G
And now I know I never knew about you, only me
Bm G
We carried this inside like some disease we couldn't beat
But we could wDork, try to live and get by
To maGke our family in this second-floor apartment
BbStanding on the threshold, body out in flesh, cold
DGo ahead and celebrate the things you lost
DTry to breathe, to flex and release
GTo cry and work in such an underrated ‘partment
BbMoments are a lifetime, nothing in a straight line
DThis could take a little while just to shake things off
DDown by water's edge,Bb under the dying tree
GI let my body slip,D so dead inside of me
DBut when I came aroundBb, some kind of murky face
BmI don't ever want to be alone like this
Bm G
And I will tuck into you like I always long to be
Bm G
Shadows just a shade of black now, darkness in degree
Bm G
Oh it was you who knew we first saw this wasn't meant for kids like me
Some hoBmodoo natural force we only fGeel we never see
DBut as we break in time, a brotherly sigh
GTheir heads got smaller ‘till they vanished into silence
BbSinking into white foam, running to a new home
DThey can only understand the things we see
DJust cease, desist, and leave me like this
GTheir eyes wide open, the beauty of the bright lights
BbStanding on a threshold, body out in flesh, cold
DI don't ever want to be alone like this, no
DI have no cC#mhoice but to be viBmcious on my feet
I never slBbeep, I never eat
I am leDarning how to be lost completely
But I wDant to be foAund,
Bm
We crave things we push away
These patterns Bbcut like every day
I need yDou to reach; I need you to need me
DDown by water's edgeBm, under a dying tree
GI let my body slip,D so dead inside of me
DBut when I came arounBmd some kind of murky face
GShaking my bones put me bDack in my place
D Bm
I don't ever want to be alone like this
G D
For me, by the presence of the things I miss
D Bm
I don't ever want to be alone like this
G D
For me, by the presence of the things I miss
DWell, I am becoBmming the ghGost of myself
DOh, I am becomBming a ghGost of myself
D Bm G
Trapped little secrets, little things we never tell
D Bm G
Now I am becoming the ghost of myself
End on D
