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
A#
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
A#
moments are a lifetime , nothing in a straight line
D
this could take a little while just to shake things off
D A#
down by water’s edge , under the dying tree
G D
i let my body slip , so dead inside of me
D A#
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
A#
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
A#
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
A#
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
A#
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
