Gm            F     A#
I'm sick and tired of
Gm              F     A#
hanging out my window,
Gm                    F     A#
I've learnt from past experience
Gm                         F A#
rain can't make flowers grow,

Friends don't stick around
They go which way the wind blows
You're never safe and sound
'Til all the doors are closed

D# Dm   F   Gm
Doors closed,
D#      Dm   F
Doors closed,

Chorus:
D#                         A#                       F   Gm
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts.
D#                         A#                      F
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts.

Gm     F A# Gm F
Ahh, oh.

Soon it will all fall apart
And the roads will have no way
And you'll be the one laughing
As the fences fade away

And instead of being left there
Feeling all alone
Break down the house you made of matchsticks
And set fire to the throne

To the throne
To the throne

Chorus

Gm                        D#            A#
Home becomes what you're scared of the most.
Gm                        D#            A#
Home becomes what you're scared of the most.
              Gm                                 D#            A# F
When shadows turn into ghosts, it's what you're scared of the most.

D#                           Dm                            F   Gm
I'm pulling pictures off the wall watching smiles as they fall,
D#                           Dm                            F   Gm
I'm pulling pictures off the wall watching smiles as they fall,
D#                           Dm                            F
I'm pulling pictures off the wall watching smiles as they fall,
     Gm
I'm pulling pictures off the wall,
D#                           Dm                            F
I'm pulling pictures off the wall watching smiles as they fall.

Chorus

Home becomes what you're scared of the most
Home becomes what you're scared of the most
When shadows turn into ghosts
It's what you're scared of the most
