ERed cape and an open casket
ETied up to a broken lever
EIf I move, it hurts forever
AI am not that host
But I Ewant her
EWolf in a winter playground
EWhite snow to let the red out
EI hear that alarms are better
EThan a warning, like a feather
AI don't like my tone
But I Ewant her
[Chorus]
So C#mhere I Aam
I'm Efalling to my kneBes
I'm digging at the sAhadows of a ghE5/Aost
When you come aEround
So C#mhere I Aam
I'm Ewaiting for the teBase
I'm sleeping in the gAallows that I chE5/Aose
When you come aEround

EWhy sleep I can't forget it
EMoonrise I'm now committed
EYour move 'cause I am tethered
ELike a slave, I don't know better
AI listen for your words
Yeah I Ewant her
ELost boys in a haunted forest
EBright things in the maze before us
EMy life has now been severed
I can't bare to remember Awho I was before
The day I Emet her

So C#mhere I Aam
I'm Efalling to my kneBes

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Eighteen and a wicker basket

Red cape and an open casket

Tied up to a broken lever

If I move, it hurts forever

I am not that host

But I want her

Wolf in a winter playground

White snow to let the red out

I hear that alarms are better

Than a warning, like a feather

I don't like my tone

But I want her

[Chorus]

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm falling to my knees

A E5/A

I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost

When you come around

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm waiting for the tease

A E5/A

I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose

When you come around

[Break]

[Verse 2]

Why sleep I can't forget it

Moonrise I'm now committed

Your move 'cause I am tethered

Like a slave, I don't know better

I listen for your words

Yeah I want her

Lost boys in a haunted forest

Bright things in the maze before us

My life has now been severed

I can't bare to remember who I was before

The day I met her

[Chorus]

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm falling to my knees

A E5/A

I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost

When you come around

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm waiting for the tease

A E5/A

I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose

When you come around

[Instrumental]

G#5 B5 E5 A5 B5

[Chorus]

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm falling to my knees

A E5/A

I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost

When you come around

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm waiting for the tease

A E5/A

I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose

When you come around

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm falling to my knees

A E5/A

I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost

When you come around

C#m A

So here I am

E B

I'm waiting for the tease

A E5/A

I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose

When you come around
