G  D  Bm
 
 
[Verse]

    D                Bm    
I'm sailin' away to a place 
    A
I'm afraid of
    G         D    
The dawn isn't here, 
  Em
The sun hasn't rose
    Bm                    
I'm drinkin' my days with
     A          G
 The coastal longshoreman
         D              
They got money to make and
 Em
  Children back home
    D                  
The last that I heard, 
        Bm
You were down in New Orleans
             D          Em    Bm
Workin' your days at The Print
               D        
I drink 'til I drown and 
 Bm             D
I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
     G            A      Bm
Your hands are all over my scent
            D                 Bm
I worry for you, you worry for me
         Em         D    
And it's fine if we know 
        Bm
We won't change
              D        
Collect every dream in 
     Bm        D
These old empty pockets
   Em             Bm   D        Bm   A
In hope that I'll need them some day
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Bm    
But the wreckage of you, 
     Em
I no longer reside in
        D            
And the bridges have 
               Em    Bm
Long since been burnt
    D                   
The ash of the home that  
 G
I started the fire in
   D                      Bm
It starts to return to the Earth
    D                    
I'm leavin' this town and 
   Bm
I'm changin' my address
  G               D          Em
I know that you'll come if you want
              D
It's not Halloween, but the 

Ghost you're dressed up as
     Bm                     
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, 
   Em
It knows how to haunt
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G     Em
Mm-hmm-mm
 
 
[Verse]

        G         D         
It's an ode to the hole that
 Bm
 I found myself stuck in
  G           D           Em
A song for the grave that I dug
          Bm
There's a murder of crows in 

The low light off Boston
    D                      Em
And I see your face in each one
                         Bm
I'm losin' myself in the tiniest objects
              D        Bm
I'm seein' my life on a screen
    G           D         Bm
I'm hearin' your voice in a 

Strange foreign language
   Em     A             Bm
If only I learned how to speak
 
 
[Chorus]

                    Bm  
But the wreckage of you, 
     Em
I no longer reside in
        D                
And the bridges have long 
          Em
Since been burnt
    D                   
The ash of the home that 
 G
I started the fire in
   D                      Bm
It starts to return to the Earth
    D                   
I'm leavin' this town and 
    Bm
I'm changin' my address
  G               D          Em
I know that you'll come if you want
              D
It's not Halloween, but the 

Ghost you're dressed up as
     Bm                      
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, 
   Em
It knows how to haunt
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
    Bm
You know how to haunt
Em
Know how to haunt
D
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
Bm
Mm-hmm-mm 

(Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
D
Ah, ooh
Bm
Mm-hmm-mm

 (Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
 
 
[Outro]

  G            D        
I know that you fear that
   Bm
 I'm wicked and weary
  D                        Em
I know that you fearin' the end
      D                        
But I only tell the truth when 
    Bm
I'm sure that I'm lyin'
   D                    Bm
So I'm settin' sail once again
