Ab Eb Cm
[Verse 1]
Eb Cm BbI'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of
Ab Eb FmThe dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose
Cm Bb AbI'm drinkin' my days with the coastal longshoreman
Eb FmThey got money to make and children back home
Eb CmThe last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
Eb Fm CmWorkin' your days at The Print
Eb Cm EbI drink 'til I drown and I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
Ab Bb CmYour hands are all over my scent
Eb CmI worry for you, you worry for me
Fm Eb CmAnd it's fine if we know we won't change
Eb Cm EbCollect every dream in these old empty pockets
Fm Cm Eb Cm BbIn hope that I'll need them some day
[Chorus]
Cm FmBut the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
Eb Fm CmAnd the bridges have long since been burnt
Eb AbThe ash of the home that I started the fire in
Eb CmIt starts to return to the Earth
Eb CmI'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
Ab Eb FmI know that you'll come if you want
EbIt's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as
Cm FmSure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt
[Post-Chorus]
Ab FmMm-hmm-mm
[Verse 2]
Ab Eb CmIt's an ode to the hole that I found myself stuck in
Ab Eb FmA song for the grave that I dug
CmThere's a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
Eb FmAnd I see your face in each one
CmI'm losin' myself in the tiniest objects
Eb CmI'm seein' my life on a screen
Ab Eb CmI'm hearin' your voice in a strange foreign language
Fm Bb CmIf only I learned how to speak
[Chorus]
Cm FmBut the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
Eb FmAnd the bridges have long since been burnt
Eb AbThe ash of the home that I started the fire in
Eb CmIt starts to return to the Earth
Eb CmI'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
Ab Eb FmI know that you'll come if you want
EbIt's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as
Cm FmSure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt
[Post-Chorus]
AbMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
CmYou know how to haunt
FmKnow how to haunt
EbMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
CmMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
EbAh, ooh
CmMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Outro]
Ab Eb CmI know that you fear that I'm wicked and weary
Eb FmI know that you fearin' the end
Eb CmBut I only tell the truth when I'm sure that I'm lyin'
Eb CmSo I'm settin' sail once again
