Verse 1
G D Bm AI’m sailin’ away to a place I’m afraid of
G D BmThe dawn isn’t here, the sun hasn’t rose
G D Bm AI’m drinkin’ my days with a coastal on Shoreman
G D BmThey got money to make and children back home
G D Bm AThe last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
G D BmWorkin’ your days at The Print
G D Bm AI drink ’til I drown and I smoke ’til I’m burnin’
G D BmYour hands are all over my scent
G D BmI worry for you, you worry for me
G D BmAnd it’s fine if we know we won’t change
G D Bm ACollect every dream in these old empty pockets
G D Bm AIn hope that I’ll need ’em someday....
Chorus
DBut the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
G D BmAnd the bridges have long since been burned
DThe ash of the home that I started the fire in
G D BmIt starts to return to the Earth
DI’m leavin’ this town and I’m changin’ my address
G D BmI know that you’ll come if you want
DIt’s not Halloween but the ghost you’re dressed up as
G D BmSure knows how to haunt, yeah, she knows how to haunt
Post-Chorus
G D Bm AMm-hmm-mm….…...
G D Bm….…...
Verse 2
G D Bm AIt’s an ode to the hole that I found myself stuck in
G D BmThe song for the grave that I dug
G D Bm AThere’s a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
G D BmAnd I see your face in each one
G D Bm AI’m losing myself in the tiniest objects
G D BmI’m seein’ my life on a screen
G D Bm AI’m hearin’ your voice in a strange foreign language
G D BmIf only I learned how to speak
Chorus
DBut the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
G D BmAnd the bridges have long since been burned
DThe ash of the home that I started the fire in
G D BmIt starts to return to the Earth
DI’m leavin’ this town and I’m changin’ my address
G D BmI know that you’ll come if you want
DIt’s not Halloween but the ghost you’re dressed up as
G D BmSure knows how to haunt, yeah, she knows how to haunt
Post-Chorus
DMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
G D AYou know how to haunt.…...
DKnow how to haunt
G D AMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh).….…..
D G D AMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh).….…..
Ah, ooh
D G D AMm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)….…..
Outro
G D Bm AI know that you fear that I’m wicked and weary
G D BmI know that you fear in the end
G D Bm ABut I only tell the truth but I’m sure that I’m lyin’
G D BmSo I‘m settin’ sail once again
