I've seen a few tries at the chords, but none have really sounded quite right to
me. This is what I play
The brackets are for repeats
Em D C D (Arpeggiated)
Em D
I'm sick and tired of
C D
Hanging out my window,
Em D
I've learnt from past experience
C D
Rain can't make flowers grow,
Em D
Friends don't stick around
C D
They go which way the wind goes,
Em D
You're never safe and sound
C D
’Til all your [doors are closed]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gabrielle_aplin/ghosts_crd.html ]
G
[When you're awake
Em
On your own,
C. D
Shadows turn into ghosts]
(Repeat Em pattern until G pattern on chorus)
Ooh ooh
Soon it will all fall apart
And their roads will have no way,
And you'll be the one laughing as
Their fences fade away,
And instead of being left there,
Feeling all alone,
Break down the house you made of match sticks
And set fire [to their throne]
G
[When you're awake
On your own
Shadows turn into ghosts,]
(Em pattern)
[Home becomes what you're scared of the most]
Em
When shadows turn into ghosts
It’s what your scared of the most
G
[I'm pulling pictures off the wall
Watching smiles as they fall] x3
I’m pulling pictures off the wall (back to top)
[When you're awake
On your own
Shadows turn into ghosts,]
[Home becomes what you're scared of the most]
When shadows turn into ghosts
It’s what your scared of the most
