Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Em][Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]All my
friends have [F]gone away
Sailing vessels, leaving the bay
[C]For the [Am]be st four years
and [F]the promise of pay
But [C]they don't even know
what they're [G]chasing

[Verse 2]
[F]Great[C]er men have [Am]tried and [G]failed
[F]And all this time I tho[C]ught tha[Am]t I'd stay
[G]As a ghost who [Am]would haunt this [Em]mountain
[F]And all this time I tho[C]ught tha[Am]t I'd stay
[G]Alive in the ground,
[Am]digging out my [G]coffin

[Interlude 1]
[C]

[Verse 3]
[F]Time was short on courts and pavement
We knew we had to leave
But did I make [C]the most of every day
And did I give to not receive?
[F]Are there any better words to express
the full extent of my [Em]grief?
[G]It hits hom[C]e whe[Am]n[G]
you're not [F]home
There's no [Em]space [G]to grow,
and [C]all this time [Am]not much t[C]o show

[Verse 4]
And [F]all this time [C]I thought t[Am]hat I'd stay
[G]As a ghost who [Am]would haunt this [C]mountain
[F]Maybe I sho[C]uld hold my ton[Am]gue
And do my [G]best to live with
[Am]the stress that's [G]mounting

[Verse 5]
[F]I never thought, I nev[C]er tho[Am]ught a bon[G]d
was something [Am]we l[Em]acked[F]
I gotta find an[C]other [Am]way
to keep [G]myself [Am]in tact
[G][F]

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][G][F][C][G]

[Verse 6]
I [F]understand we all went away [C]so [G]we
could have the [C]stories [F]to share [C]when we're bac[Em]k[C]
Try to pass the same old [G]shit [C]to get a
[F]ahead and start your paper [C]stack
[F]I never thought,
[C]I never thought a bon[F]d was something we [C]lacked
[F]I guess some of us [C]just needed a c[G]han[C]ge to heal[F] the bone[C]s
we [Em]cracked

[Interlude 3]
[G][C][F][Em][C][Am][G][F][Em][C][G][C][Am]
It [G]takes four

[Verse 7]
[F]yea[C]rs away from your fri[Am]ends (Four years,
four years)
[C]To make you [F]all for[C]get how [G]much[C]
time you [Am]spent (Four years)

[Outro 1]
[G][F]
