Bm                             G
I will be the one to let this roof cave in on me
Bm                                    G
Buried in this house, this wooden graveyard by the sea
    Bm                           A
We push away our families to understand our needs
      G                              Gm
The love and all the hate I used to hold 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

              D
But we could work, try to live and get by
     G
To make our family in this second-floor apartment
Bb
Standing on the threshold, body out in flesh, cold
D
Go ahead and celebrate the things you lost

D
Try to breathe, to flex and release
G
To cry and work in such an underrated ?partment
Bb
Moments are a lifetime, nothing in a straight line
D
This could take a little while just to shake things off

D                    Bb
Down by water's edge, under the dying tree
G                  D
I let my body slip, so dead inside of me
D                     Bb
But when I came around, some kind of murky face
Bm
I 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
       Bm                          G
Some hoodoo natural force we only feel we never see

D
But as we break in time, a brotherly sigh 
G
Their heads got smaller ?till they vanished into silence
Bb
Sinking into white foam , running to a new home
D
They can only understand the things we see

D
Just cease, desist, and leave me like this
G
Their eyes wide open, the beauty of the bright lights
Bb
Standing on a threshold, body out in flesh, cold
D
I don't ever want to be alone like this, no

D          C#m               Bm
I have no choice but to be vicious on my feet
          Bb
I never sleep, I never eat
       D                           
I am learning how to be lost completely
       D           A
But I want to be found, 
         Bm
We crave things we push away
               Bb
These patterns cut like every day
        D                  
I need you to reach; I need you to need me

D                   Bm
Down by water's edge, under a dying tree
G                  D
I let my body slip, so dead inside of me
D                    Bm
But when I came around some kind of murky face
G                        D
Shaking my bones put me back 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

D              Bm         G
Well, I am becoming the ghost of myself
D             Bm      G
Oh, I am becoming a ghost 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
