Verse:
G G
I saw your father in the hall
G D
His ghost is living in the walls
Cadd9 Cadd9
I heard him crying while you slept
Cadd9 D
I heard him breaking things after you left
[Verse]
I watched you crawl into my bed
With curses spilling from your head
You said "We're just the walking dead"
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off
[Verse]
Into the air, into the air
Into the air, into the air
We're in the air, we're in the air
Up in the air, up in the air
[Verse]
I used to worry about the time
That I lost my teeth along the line
So I carved the apple from my eye
And gave it to you before I went away
[Verse]
Blood ran into the kitchen sink
Your hand and lives are running pink
I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor
[Verse]
They cut your
Eyes wide open
And pour into
Your precious head
[Verse]
My reach don't
Go that far dear
But please oh
Please don't let them in
Bridge:
Em F#m Cadd9 Bm G
I sank into the sea
Em F#m Cadd9 Bm G
Wrapped in piano strings
Em F#m Cadd9 Bm G
Few words could open me
Em F#m Cadd9 D
But you knew them all
[Verse]
Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost just tries to keep you warm
I've seen the end, I've lost the war
One day you're 20 years just like the rain
[Verse]
I hear the engines
They're roaring in our mouths
The smell of creatures
Are falling tooth and nail to get out
[Verse]
I see the airplanes
They're pouring from the chest
They fill the air
And burn and bury just like the rest
