[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][C][D][G]
[D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I saw
your father in the hall
His ghost is [D]living in the wall[C]s
[G]I heard him [C]crying while you slept
[G]I heard him [D]breaking things
after you [G]left

[Verse 2]
I watched you crawl into my [G]bed
With curses [D]spilling from your head
[G]You said "We're jus[C]t the walking dead"
So [G]I pulled the [D]trigger and we [G]floated off

[Verse 3]
Into the air
Into [D]the air
[C]Into the air
Into the [G]air[Bm]
[G]Up in the air
[D]We're [C]in the air
Up in the air
Up in the [D]air

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
I used to worry about the [G]time
But I lost my [D]teeth along the line
[G]So I carved the app[C]le from my eye
And gave it [D]to you before I went [G]away

[Verse 5]
Blood ran into the kitchen [G]sink
Your hand and [D]lives are running pink
[C]I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and [D]rolled across
the kitchen [G]floor

[Verse 6]
They cut your [G]eyes wide [D]open[C]
And pour into your [D]precious [G]head
My reach don't go that [D]far dear
[C]But please oh please don't let[D] them in[Em]
I [D]sank in

[Verse 7]
[C]to the[G] sea
[A]Wrapped [D]in pi[C]ano [G]strings
[A]Few [D]words could [G]open me
[Em]But [A]you [D]knew them [C]all

[Verse 8]
[C]
[G]Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost [D]just tries to keep you warm
[C]I've seen the end, I've lost the war
One day [G]you'll [D]join me
here just like the [G]rest

[Verse 9]
I hear [G]the engines
They're roaring [D]in our [C]mouths
The smell of creatures
Are falling [G]tooth and [Bm]nail [D]to get [G]out

[Verse 10]
I see the [G]airplanes
They're pouring [D]from the chest
[C]They fill the air
And burn and [G]bury [Bm]just like the
[G]rest

[Outro 1]
