This is more a piano song than a guitar song. So the chords i've written can be played
ways but these are the best for the song.
Intro:
Piano part tabbed for guitar:
e|--57-57-57-57-575-|
b|-7--7--7--7--7----| repeat lots

Gmaj7 D
A Gmaj7 Bm
Verse:
Bm G/B
I'll be the one to let this roof cave in on me
Bm G/B
Buried in this house, this wooden graveyard by the sea
Gm/Bb A7sus4
We push away our families to understand our needs
G#m7b5 Gmaj7
The love and all the hate I used to hold in front of me
Verse:
Restless nights, all dizzy spells, all sand between my sheets
Showing signs of thirst I try down the boardwalk, all blistered feet
And now I know I never knew about you, only me
We carried this inside like some disease we couldn't beat
Chorus:
D
But we could work, try to live and get by
To make our family in the second-floor apartment
Bb
Standing on a threshold, body out in flesh, cold
D
Go ahead and celebrate the things you lost
Chorus:
D
Try to breathe, to flex and release
To cry and work out what underrate apartment (?)
Bb
Moments are a lifetime, nothing in a straight line
D
This will take a little while just to shake things off
Post-chorus:
D/A Bbaug
Down by water's edge, under the dying tree
G/B D
I let my body slip, so dead inside of me
D/A Bbaug
But when I came around some kind of milky face
Bm
I don't ever want to be alone like this
(intro riff)
Gmaj7 Bm
Verse:
And I will tuck into you like I always want to be
Shadows just a shade of black now, darkness in degree
Oh it was you who knew we first saw this wasn't meant for kids like me
Some hoodoo natural force we only feel we never see
Chorus:
But as we (?) in time, a brotherly sigh
Their heads got small until they vanished into silence
Sinking into white foam, running to a new home
They can only understand the things we see
Chorus:
Just cease, desist, and leave me like this
Their eyes wide open, the beauty of the bright lights
Standing on a threshold, body out in flesh, cold
I don't ever want to be alone like this, no
D C# Bm
I have no choice but to be vicious on my feet
Bb
I never sleep, I never eat
D/A D
I am learning how to be lost completely
D A/C# Bm
I want to be found, be craved like things we push away
Bb
These patterns cut like every day
D
I need you to reach, I need you to need me
Pause:
D Bm7
Down by water's edge, under a dying tree
Gmaj7 D/A
I let my body slip, so dead inside of me
D Bm7
But when I came around some kind of milky face
Gmaj7 D/A
Shaking my bones, put me back in my place
(same chords)
I don't ever want to be alone like this
For me, by the presence of the things I miss
I don't ever want to be alone like this
For me, by the presence of the things I miss
(still the same chords)
I am becoming a ghost of myself
Oh I am becoming a ghost of myself
Trapped little secrets, little things we never tell
No I am becoming a ghost of myself
(intro riff)
