Noah Kahan - Halloween

[Intro]
Ab Eb Cm Eb
Ab Eb Cm

[Verse 1]
Eb Cm Bb
I’m sailin’ away to a place I’m afraid of
Ab Eb Fm
The dawn isn’t here, the sun hasn’t rose
Cm Bb Ab
I’m drinkin’ my days with the coastal longshoreman
Eb Fm
They got money to make and children back home
Eb Cm
The last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
Eb Fm Cm
Workin’ your days at The Print
Eb Cm Eb
I drink ‘til I drown and I smoke ‘til I’m burnin’
Ab Bb Cm
Your hands are all over my scent
Eb Cm
I worry for you, you worry for me
Fm Eb Cm
And it’s fine if we know we won’t change
Eb Cm Eb
Collect every dream in these old empty pockets
Fm Cm Eb Cm Bb
In hope that I’ll need them some day

[Chorus]
Cm Fm
But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
Eb Fm Cm
And the bridges have long since been burnt
Eb Ab
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
Eb Cm
It starts to return to the Earth
Eb Cm
I’m leavin’ this town and I’m changin’ my address
Ab Eb Fm
I know that you’ll come if you want
Eb
It’s not Halloween, but the ghost you’re dressed up as
Cm Fm
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt

[Post-Chorus]
Ab Fm
Mm-hmm-mm

[Verse 2]
Ab Eb Cm
It’s an ode to the hole that I found myself stuck in
Ab Eb Fm
A song for the grave that I dug
Cm
There’s a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
Eb Fm
And I see your face in each one
Cm
I’m losin’ myself in the tiniest objects
Eb Cm
I’m seein’ my life on a screen
Ab Eb Cm
I’m hearin’ your voice in a strange foreign language
Fm Bb Cm
If only I learned how to speak

[Chorus]
Cm Fm
But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
Eb Fm
And the bridges have long since been burnt
Eb Ab
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
Eb Cm
It starts to return to the Earth
Eb Cm
I’m leavin’ this town and I’m changin’ my address
Ab Eb Fm
I know that you’ll come if you want
Eb
It’s not Halloween, but the ghost you’re dressed up as
Cm Fm
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt

[Post-Chorus]
Ab
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
Cm
You know how to haunt
Fm
Know how to haunt
Eb
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
Cm
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Eb
Ah, ooh
Cm
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Outro]
Ab Eb Cm
I know that you fear that I’m wicked and weary
Eb Fm
I know that you fearin’ the end
Eb Cm
But I only tell the truth when I’m sure that I’m lyin’
Eb Cm
So I’m settin’ sail once again
