E C#m7 A B Esus2 E Aadd9 Amaj9 Bsus4 C#m7 C#m9 [Intro] A E C#m7 A B x2 [Verse 1]
E                    C#m7
  I said some kind of fog

         A                         B
Could be helpful with this kind of sunset

E                        C#m7
  When your eyes see too far

       A                        B
And so deep into life you don't know yet
[Chorus]
A                      B
  Why do the hours disappear when I

         E                     A
Speak so loving of where I've been?

A                                      B
  But then just stands right there and look at me

       E                      A
When I don't know where to begin

               B           E
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Post-Chorus] E C#m7 A B [Verse 2]
E                      C#m7
  I have faith in the night

          A                      B
That they show me what I need to master

E                   C#m7
  I'll be ready, I'm here

         A                            B
Since so deep in the doubt, I've seen laughter
[Chorus]
A                      B
  Why do the hours disappear when I

         E                     A
Speak so loving of where I've been?

A                                      B
  But then just stands right there and look at me

       E                      A
When I don't know where to begin

               B           E
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Post-Chorus] E C#m7 A B x2 [Bridge]
A                     B
  Why do I always disappear in thought?

      E                  A
I'm a captain so mad at sea

A                             B
  And this old room is now my ship somehow

        E                   A
In here waves crashing over me

               B           E
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Verse 3]
E                    C#m7
  I will dig where I stand

           A                     B
Though I'm tired and longing for pleasure

E                      C#m7
  Then what comes up to me

       A                           B
I will teach them to look like some treasure
[Chorus]
A                      B
  Why do the hours disappear when I

         E                     A
Speak so loving of where I've been?

A                                      B
  But then just stands right there and look at me

       E                      A
When I don't know where to begin

               B           E
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Outro] E C#m7 A B x3 E C#m7 A B E
