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
A               Cm
I'll cover your ceiling with nebulas
G                               Am
I'm not really sure if you'll remember
Em                             Am
But in that one moment last summer I felt
  Bm
Pretty good with being alive and all
          A                     Cm
It seems memories are all we've got

Chorus:
Em                                     C
I've been getting tired of all these ghost
boys telling me what to say
          G/D
There's two for my heart and two for my brain
And the one for my body keeps running away
Em                                    C
I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys
and all their selfish ways
   G/D
Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

Do you think of me anymore
As someone you can talk to
When your face turns to grey-blue
I know you, you're not anti-social
I'm constantly aware that we're sinking
And the spirit boys never let me
refrain from thinking
That it's only a matter of time before we break
It seems optimism's all we've got at this point

Chorus

G
But I'm not an optimist you out of all know this
Sad kids we rhyme like this and all that I know is
Em
Tunes and a rhyme help me more than a therapist
I cannot wait til the day that we reminisce
C
Times that we changed and the plans that we made
We are growing and learning every single day
     G
And no matter how hard that I try to change
      D/F#
The ghost boys won't go away - x2

Chorus
