Capo 1
[Intro]
F C Am G
[Verse 1]
My whole liFfe I been curled up, worCried 'bout fitting in
DoAmn't know what I am, I just knGow that I'm different
SFpazzed out, fidgeting
PClaying with the monsters
OnAmly open up around the crGeatures that I conjure
FFlashlights dangling undCerneath the stairs
If I Amever went missin', they would Galways meet me there
They would bFe the ones to love me on the Cnights I needed care
Never bAmrought 'em out in public 'cause I Ghate when people stare
I'll be Ffine
Just losinCg track of time
Just dancAming in the city with these voGices in my mind
They the oFnly ones who listen when I tCell em what I feel
No one Amever understood, and they Gprobably never will
[Chorus]
(single strum *)
         F*
So, I'm going now
Away, away
        C*
So, I'm going now
Awaaay
        Am*
So, I'm going now
Away, away
        G*
So, I'm going now
Watch me disappear just like a FghostC  Am  
GWatch me disappear just like a FghostC  Am  G  
[Verse 2]
FRiding through the city, I'm just Cbuzzin' alone
Close my Ameyes while I drive 'cause I Glove the unknown
Heart Fbeating so hard, feel it tChud in my bones
Can'Amt say I Iove her, but I wrote her Gdozens of poems
And I Falmost read 'em out loud Chundreds of times
Closed Ammouth, what a waste of a Gwonderful mind
She gets Fscared when the rain and the Cthunder combine
And I'm Amfrom a gloomy place where the sGun doesn't shine
It wouldn't Fwork, so, I Cadmire from afar
LAmying on the rooftop, lGining up the stars
HFiding all my scars is Coh-so exhausting
AmI just wanna get Glost now
[Chorus]
         F*
So, I'm going now
Away, away
        C*
So, I'm going now
Awaaay
        Am*
So, I'm going now
Away, away
        G*
So, I'm going now
Watch me disappear just like a FghostC  Am  
GWatch me disappear just like a FghostC  Am  
[Bridge]
GWatch me disappear just like a FghostC  Am  G  
[Outro]
         F*
So, I'm going now
Away, away
        C*
So, I'm going now
Awaaay
         Am*
So, I'm going now
Away, away
        G*
So, I'm going now
                               F*
Watch me disappear just like a ghost

Capo 1

[Intro]

F C Am G

[Verse 1]

F C

My whole life I been curled up, worried 'bout fitting in

Am G

Don't know what I am, I just know that I'm different

Spazzed out, fidgeting

Playing with the monsters

Am G

Only open up around the creatures that I conjure

F C

Flashlights dangling underneath the stairs

Am G

If I ever went missin', they would always meet me there

F C

They would be the ones to love me on the nights I needed care

Am G

Never brought 'em out in public 'cause I hate when people stare

I'll be fine

Just losing track of time

Am G

Just dancing in the city with these voices in my mind

F C

They the only ones who listen when I tell em what I feel

Am G

No one ever understood, and they probably never will

[Chorus]

(single strum *)

So, I'm going now

Away, away

So, I'm going now

Awaaay

So, I'm going now

Away, away

So, I'm going now

F C Am

Watch me disappear just like a ghost

G F C Am G

Watch me disappear just like a ghost

[Verse 2]

F C

Riding through the city, I'm just buzzin' alone

Am G

Close my eyes while I drive 'cause I love the unknown

F C

Heart beating so hard, feel it thud in my bones

Am G

Can't say I Iove her, but I wrote her dozens of poems

F C

And I almost read 'em out loud hundreds of times

Am G

Closed mouth, what a waste of a wonderful mind

F C

She gets scared when the rain and the thunder combine

Am G

And I'm from a gloomy place where the sun doesn't shine

F C

It wouldn't work, so, I admire from afar

Am G

Lying on the rooftop, lining up the stars

F C

Hiding all my scars is oh-so exhausting

Am G

I just wanna get lost now

[Chorus]

So, I'm going now

Away, away

So, I'm going now

Awaaay

So, I'm going now

Away, away

So, I'm going now

F C Am

Watch me disappear just like a ghost

G F C Am

Watch me disappear just like a ghost

[Bridge]

G F C Am G

Watch me disappear just like a ghost

[Outro]

So, I'm going now

Away, away

So, I'm going now

Awaaay

So, I'm going now

Away, away

So, I'm going now

Watch me disappear just like a ghost
