(Intro)
C Em C Em C Em

B --1--1--1---|
G --2--0--0---|
D --3--3--2---|
A --3--3--3---|
E ------------|
[which sounds very nice, and is used throughout the song.]
C Em F C
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun
F C G
And the days blur into one
F C
And the backs of my eyes
F C G
hum with things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts
over old dead grass
Was never much but we've made the most
[The two notes he plays on both syllables of "welcome" are F# and F (without
the capo), or the third fret, followed by the second, of the A string]
C /B Am F C
Welcome hoooooome (you get the idea)
Am F C
hoooooome
Am F C
hoooooome
Am F C
hoooooome
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please
let me know what piece I've lost
Heal the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out
or keep them in your mason jars
[Same as the "welcome" above, but on "I've come".]
I've come hoooome
hoooome
hoooome
hoooome
Am F C
All my nightmares escaped my head
Am F C
Bar the door, please don't let them in
Am F C
You were never supposed to leave
Am F C
Now my head's splitting at the seams
F C G
And I don't know if I can
Am C F Em
Am C F Em
F C G F C G F C G Am C G
Here, beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press in-to my skin again
F Am F Am
F Am
[Ends on an unresolved D#m (without capo), which is pretty ballsy]
Sing along
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun, and the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much, but we've made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost
Peel the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I've come home
All my nightmares escape my head
Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can
Here, beneath my lungs
I feel your thumbs
Press into my skin again
