B5                             G5
I will be the one to let this roof cave in on me
B5                                    G5
Buried in this house, this wooden graveyard by the sea
    B5                           A5
We push away our families to understand our needs
      G5                              G5
The love and all the hate I used to hold in front of me

B5                              G5
Restless nights, all dizzy spells, all sand between my sheets
B5                                    G5
Showing signs of thirst like dried-out, boardwalk-blistered feet
     B5                         G5
And now I know I never knew about you, only me
      B5                      G5
We carried this inside like some disease we couldn't beat

              D5
But we could work, try to live and get by
     G5
To make our family in this second-floor apartment
Bb5
Standing on the threshold, body out in flesh, cold
D5
Go ahead and celebrate the things you lost

D5
Try to breathe, to flex and release
G5
To cry and work in such an underrated ?partment
Bb5
Moments are a lifetime, nothing in a straight line
D5
This could take a little while just to shake things off

D5                    Bb5
Down by water's edge, under the dying tree
G5                  D5
I let my body slip, so dead inside of me
D5                     Bb5
But when I came around, some kind of murky face
B5
I don't ever want to be alone like this


    B5                               G5
And I will tuck into you like I always long to be
B5                                G5
Shadows just a shade of black now, darkness in degree
          B5                                G5
Oh it was you who knew we first saw this wasn't meant for kids like me
       B5                          G5
Some hoodoo natural force we only feel we never see

D5
But as we break in time, a brotherly sigh 
G5
Their heads got smaller ?till they vanished into silence
Bb5
Sinking into white foam , running to a new home
D5
They can only understand the things we see

D5
Just cease, desist, and leave me like this
G5
Their eyes wide open, the beauty of the bright lights
Bb5
Standing on a threshold, body out in flesh, cold
D5
I don't ever want to be alone like this, no

D5          C#5               B5
I have no choice but to be vicious on my feet
          Bb5
I never sleep, I never eat
       D5                           
I am learning how to be lost completely
       D5           A5
But I want to be found, 
         B5
We crave things we push away
               Bb5
These patterns cut like every day
        D5                  
I need you to reach; I need you to need me

D5                   B5
Down by water's edge, under a dying tree
G5                  D5
I let my body slip, so dead inside of me
D5                    B5
But when I came around some kind of murky face
G5                        D5
Shaking my bones put me back in my place

D5                       B5
I don't ever want to be alone like this
G5                           D5
For me, by the presence of the things I miss
D5                    B5
I don't ever want to be alone like this
G5                         D5
For me, by the presence of the things I miss

D5              B5         G5
Well, I am becoming the ghost of myself
D5             B5      G5
Oh, I am becoming a ghost of myself
D5             B5            G5
Trapped little secrets, little things we never tell
D5           B5            G5
Now I am becoming the ghost of myself

End on D5
