[Verse]
G
 Oh, well, who was I?
                      C
Who was I to watch you wilt?
                 G
You ain't gotta tell
me what it means
              C
Trace the outlines
of your dreams
You'll always be a
            G
flower on my skin
                  C
And the pain that I am in
   G
Mm, it's all the same
C
 The losing touch,
the waiting game
G
 Across that county line
C
 I promise to be
there this time
          G     C
Alright?

[Chorus]
            Am
You were a work of art
            D
That's the hardest

 part
              C
Howlin' like dogs in
                   G
the light of the moon
              Em
Holdin' our breath
 after 1:32
                 C
You asked me why I
                 G
wasn't sayin' a word
                 Em
I'm naming the stars
in the sky after you
                Am
I was a work of art
               D
That's the hardest

[Bridge]
              C
To spiral out, to
               G
try and float
                Em
To see a friend, to
 see a ghost
Bitter-brained,
 C             G
 always drunk
          Em
Rail-thin, Zoloft

 shorter days
          Em
Dead-eyеd, dead weight
          C             G
Your life, your dreams
          Em
Your mind, your needs
          C    G
My needs
Em
 Your needs
          C  G  Em
My needs

To spiral out, to

try and float
                Em
To see a friend, to
 see a ghost
               C
To see a ghost

To see a ghost
               Em
