Noah Kahan - Halloween Chords

Capo 1

[Intro]
G  D  Bm  D
G  D  Bm
 
 
[Verse 1]
    D                Bm         A
I'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of
    G         D        Em
The dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose
    Bm                        A          G
I'm drinkin' my days with the coastal longshoreman
         D                Em
They got money to make and children back home
    D                          Bm
The last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
             D          Em    Bm
Workin' your days at The Print
               D          Bm             D
I drink 'til I drown and I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
     G            A      Bm
Your hands are all over my scent
            D                 Bm
I worry for you, you worry for me
         Em         D            Bm
And it's fine if we know we won't change
              D             Bm        D
Collect every dream in these old empty pockets
   Em             Bm   D        Bm   A
In hope that I'll need them some day
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Bm        Em
But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
        D                           Em     Bm
And the bridges have long since been burnt
    D                     G
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
   D                      Bm
It starts to return to the Earth
    D                        Bm
I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
  G               D          Em
I know that you'll come if you want
              D
It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as
     Bm                          Em
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G     Em
Mm-hmm-mm
 
 
[Verse 2]
        G         D          Bm
It's an ode to the hole that I found myself stuck in
  G           D           Em
A song for the grave that I dug
          Bm
There's a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
    D                      Em
And I see your face in each one
                         Bm
I'm losin' myself in the tiniest objects
              D        Bm
I'm seein' my life on a screen
    G           D         Bm
I'm hearin' your voice in a strange foreign language
   Em     A             Bm
If only I learned how to speak
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Bm        Em
But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
        D                           Em
And the bridges have long since been burnt
    D                     G
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
   D                      Bm
It starts to return to the Earth
    D                        Bm
I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
  G               D          Em
I know that you'll come if you want
              D
It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as
     Bm                          Em
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
    Bm
You know how to haunt
Em
Know how to haunt
D
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh)
Bm
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
D
Ah, ooh
Bm
Mm-hmm-mm (Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
 
 
[Outro]
  G            D            Bm
I know that you fear that I'm wicked and weary
  D                        Em
I know that you fearin' the end
      D                           Bm
But I only tell the truth when I'm sure that I'm lyin'
   D                    Bm
So I'm settin' sail once again
