G
Oh, well, who was I?
                      C/G
Who was I to watch you wilt?
           G
You ain't gotta tell me what it means
          C/G
Trace the outlines of your dreams
                    G
You'll always be a flower on my skin
         C/G
And the pain that I am in
   G
Mm, it's all the same
C
The losing touch, the waiting game
G
Across that county line
C
I promise to be there this time
   G   C
Alright?

Chorus:
            Am
You were a work of art
            D            Dsus4
That's the hardest part
              C                        G
Howlin' like dogs in the light of the moon
              Em
Holdin' our breath after 1:32
                 C                  G
You asked me why I wasn't sayin' a word
                 Em
I'm naming the stars in the sky after you
                Am
I was a work of art
               D         Dsus4
That's the hardest part

              C                 G
To spiral out, to try and float
                Em
To see a friend, to see a ghost
               C             G
Bitter-brained, always drunk
          Em
Rail-thin, Zoloft
              C              G
Subtle change, shorter days
          Em
Dead-eyed, dead weight
          C             G
Your life, your dreams
          Em
Your mind, your needs
         C  G
My needs
Em
Your needs
          C G Em
My needs

              C                  G
To spiral out, to try and float
                Em
To see a friend, to see a ghost
               C
To see a ghost
               G
To see a ghost
               Em
To see a ghost
