Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men

Capo 1st fret

Intro
Am - F - C - G
            Hey! (x3)
Am - F - C - G

(Verse 1)
Am               F                C                  G
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
    Am                 F                C              G
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
     Am           F           C                    G
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
          Am            F                 C               G
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Am           F        C                 G
Some days I can't even trust myself
       Am           F            C             G
It's killing me to see you this way

(Chorus)
                   Am        F         
Cause though the truth may vary
    C           G
This ship will carry
      Am    F        C       G
Our bodies safe to shore

Am - F - C - G
            Hey! (x3)
Am - F - C - G

(Verse 2)
            Am          F            C               G
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Am               F                C                G
Tell her that I miss our little talks
Am                F         C               G
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
    Am             F                   C                           G
We used to play outside when we were young (and full of life and full of love)
Am           F           C                G
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
      Am               F               C                  G
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear

(Chorus)
                   Am        F         
Cause though the truth may vary
    C           G
This ship will carry
      Am    F        C     G
Our bodies safe to shore  Hey!
Am                  F    C     G
Don't listen to a word I say. Hey!
Am                 F       C     G
The screams all sound the same. Hey!
                   Am        F         
'Cause though the truth may vary
    C           G
This ship will carry
      Am    F        C     G
Our bodies safe to shore 

Am - F - C - G (x3)
Am - F - C

(Verse 3)
Am               F          C               G
You're gone, gone, gone away. I watched you disappear
Am               F             C              G
All that's left is a ghost of you
           Am              F                 C               G
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do. 
     Am                 F              C            G
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon.
    Am           F              C                 G
Now wait, wait, wait for me. Please hang around
  Am       F            C      G
I see you when I fall asleep. Hey!

(Chorus)x2
Am                  F    C     G
Don't listen to a word I say. Hey!
Am                 F       C     G
The screams all sound the same. Hey!
                   Am        F         
'Cause though the truth may vary
    C           G
This ship will carry
      Am    F        C     G
Our bodies safe to shore 

(Ending)x2
                   Am        F         
Cause though the truth may vary
       C         G
This ship will carry
      Am     F       C 
Our bodies safe to shore
