A#m           F#maj7                  C#
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
   A#m                 F#               C#
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
    A#m           F#maj7              C#
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
         A#m            F#                 C#
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
    A#m        F#maj7       C#
And some days I can't even dress myself
     A#m            F#               C#
It's killing me to see you this way
                  A#m        F#maj7
'Cause though the truth may vary, this
C#         G#
ship will carry our
A#m     F#          C#
bodies safe to shore

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young, and full of life and full of love
Some days, I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore
'Cause though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Chorus:
C#
Hey!
      A#m         F#maj7  C#   G#
Don't listen to a word I say. Hey!
     A#m         F#maj7    C#    G#
The screams all sound the same. Hey!
           A#m        F#maj7
Though the truth may vary, this
C#          G#
ship will carry our
A#m    F#maj7      C#  G#
bodies safe to shore

       A#m
You're gone, gone, gone away.
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
there's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
    A#m          F#maj7        C#
Now wait, wait, wait for me. Please hang around
     A#m            F#maj7 C#
I'll see you when I fall asleep. Hey!

Chorus:
(Hey!) Don't listen to a word I say
(Hey!) The screams all sound the same
(Hey!) Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
(Hey!) The screams all sound the same
(Hey!) Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore
