[First Part]

C9          G         C9    
I'm sailin' away to a place I'm 
       G
afraid of
    C9          G        D11/F#
The dawn isn't here, the Sun hasn't 
rose
  C9          G         C9       
I'm drinkin' my days with a 
    G
coastal on Shoreman
     C9          G                
They got to make and children back
D11/F#
 home
    C9          G         C9     
The last that I heard you were 
      G
down in New Orleans
   C9          G        D11/F#
Workin' your days at The Print
    C9          G           C9   
I'll drink 'til I drown and I'll 
        G
smoke 'til I'm burnin'
     C9          G        D11/F#
Your hands are all over my scent
  C9          G           C9     
I worry for you, you worry for me
      G

      C9          G           
And it's fine if we know we won't 
D11/F#
change
 C9          G           C9      
Collect every dream in these old 
     G
empty pockets
   C9          G           D11/F#
In hope that I'll see them someday

[Chorus]

        C9          G           
But the wreckage of you, I no 
C9           G
longer reside in
   C9                G             
And the bridges have long since 
D11/F#
been burned
  C9          G           C9     
The ash of the home that I 
      G
started the fire in
    C9          G          D11/F#
It starts to return to the Earth

     C9          G           
I'm leavin' this town and I'm 
C9           G
changin' my address
   C9          G             D11/F#
I know that you'll come if you want
    C9          G           C9   
It's not Halloween, but the ghost
        G
 you're dressed up as
      C9          G                
Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, she 
D11/F#
knows how to haunt

[Second Part]

       C9          G           C9
It's an ode to the hole that I 
           G
found myself stuck in
   C9            G            D11/F#
The song for the grave that I dug
          C9          G           
There's a murder of crows in the 
C9           G
low light off Boston
    C9            G         D11/F#
And I see your face in each one
      C9        G        C9      
I'm losin' myself in the tiniest 
     G
objects
       C9         G         D11/F#
I'm seein' my life on a screen
       C9        G           C9  
I'm hearin' your voice in a 
         G
strange foreign language
     C9         G         D11/F#
If only I learned how to speak

[Chorus]

        C9          G           
But the wreckage of you, I no 
C9           G
longer reside in
   C9                G             
And the bridges have long since 
D11/F#
been burned
  C9          G           C9     
The ash of the home that I 
      G
started the fire in
    C9          G          D11/F#
It starts to return to the Earth
     C9          G           C9  
Well, I'm leavin' this town and 
         G
I'm changin' my address
   C9          G             D11/F#
I know that you'll come if you want
    C9          G           C9   
It's not Halloween, but the ghost
        G
 you're dressed up as
      C9          G                
Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, you 
D11/F#
knows how to haunt

( C9  G  C9 )

 G                C9     G
  Know how to haunt
D11/F#                C9    G 
       Know how to haunt
C9    G

[Outro]

    C9        G            C9    
I know that you fear that I'm 
     G
wicked and weary
   C9         G            D11/F#
I know that you fear in the end
        C9         G             
But I only tell the truth, but 
C9         G
I'm sure that I'm lying
        C9      G         D11/F#
So I'm setting sail once again
