[Verse]
G              C
On my way home from the store

G                              C
I bought your favourite colour

Em                                 C
So we can paint your room together

Am              Cm-
I'll cover your ceiling with nebulas

G                               C
I'm not really sure if you'll remember

G                              C
But in that one moment last summer I felt

Em                                   C
Pretty good with being alive and all

Am                              Cm-
It seems memories are all we've got
[Chorus]
Em                D                  C                  G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say

Em                           D
There's two for my heart and two for my brain

C                             G
And the one for my body keeps running away

Em                D                 C                  G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways

Em           D            C                G
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done
[Verse]
G                  C
Do you think of me anymore

G                          C
As someone you can talk to

Em                                C
When your face turns to grey-blue

Am                 Cm-
I know you, you're not anti-social

G                               C
I'm constantly aware that we're sinking

G                                             C
And the spirit boys never let me refrain from thinking

Em                                              C
That it's only a matter of time before we break

Am                            Cm-
It seems optimism's all we've got at this point
[Chorus]
Em                D                  C                  G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say

Em                           D
There's two for my heart and two for my brain

C                             G
And the one for my body keeps running away

Em                D                 C                  G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways

Em           D            C                G
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done
[Bridge] x2
G
But I'm not an optimist you out of all know this

G
Sad kids we rhyme like this and all that I know is

Em
Tunes and a rhyme help me more than a therapist

Em
I cannot wait til the day that we reminisce

Am
Times that we changed and the plans that we made

Am
We are growing and learning every single day

Cm
And no matter how hard that I try to change

Cm
The ghost boys won't go away
[Chorus]
Em                D                  C                  G
I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say

Em                           D
There's two for my heart and two for my brain

C                             G
And the one for my body keeps running away

Em                D                 C                  G
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways

Em           D            C                G
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done
