Am - F - C - G Verse 1 Am F C I don't like walking around this old and empty house Am F C So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear Am F C The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake Am F C It's the house telling you to close your eyes Am F C Some days I can't even trust myself Am F C It's killing me to see you this way Chorus Am F 'Cause though the truth may vary C G This ship will carry Am F C Our bodies safe to shore Am - F - C - G Hey! Am - F - C - G Hey! Am - F - C - G Hey! Am - F - C - G Verse 2 Am F C There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back Am F C Tell her that I miss our little talks Am F C Soon it will all be over and buried with our past Am F C We used to play outside when we were young (and full of life and full of love) Am F C Some days I think that I'm wrong when I'm right Am F C Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear Chorus Am F 'Cause though the truth may vary C G This ship will carry Am F C G Our bodies safe to shore Hey! Am F C G Don't listen to a word I say. Hey! Am F C G The streets of Solomon sang. Hey! Am F 'Cause though the truth may vary C G This ship will carry Am F C G Our bodies safe to shore Am - F - C - G Am - F - C - G Am - F - C - G Am - F - C Verse 3 Am You're gone, gone, gone away. I watched you disappear Am All that's left is a ghost of you Am Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do. Am Just let me go, we'll meet again soon. Am F C Now wait, wait, wait for me. Please hang around Am F C G I see you when I fall asleep. Hey! Chorus x 2 Am F C G Don't listen to a word I say. Hey! Am F C G The streets of Solomon sang. Hey! Am F 'Cause though the truth may vary C G This ship will carry Am F C G Our bodies safe to shore Ending x 2 Am F 'Cause though the truth may vary C G This ship will carry Am F C Our bodies safe to shore
