Capo 1st Fret
In verse 3 I do a picking pattern like this:
your fingers are in an Am chord and you start from the a string and go down to the
e then go up to the b string then up to the g string then back down to the b and
I pick that thoughout verse 3 till the other chords come in
If you do make a cover of this using my chords please comment below the link and I
will watch it when I get the chance :)

Am F C
I don't like walking round this old and empty house
Am F C
So hold my hand I'll walk with you my dear
Am F C
the stairs creak as I sleep it's keeping me awake
Am F C
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even trust myself
Am F C
It's killing me to see you this way

Am F C
there's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Am F C

Am F C
soon it will be over and buried with our past
Am F C
we used to play outside when we were young (and full of life and full of love)

Some days I think I'm wrong when I'm right
Am F C
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
[Chorus]
Am F
cause though the truth may vary

this ship will carry
Am F C
our bodies safe to shore hey!

bodies safe to shore
