Chords used:
--------------------------
Am	x02210
Bm	x24432
G	355433
--------------------------
 
In cases of G* it sounds really great if you shift to Am with the use of the riff below.
I'm not confident, but I think this makes up for some of the underlying banjo sounds.
 
Note that G is barred in order to use the riff properly.

Am Bm	    G*        Am  Bm        G*		
My heart is with you, its many dark corners
Am Bm	    G*      Am  Bm          G*	
Its rings of smoke, its lighted hallways
Am                   G*   Am                   G*
And I wish you could know all the ghosts in my bones
Am       Bm                G*
They are weeping, they are screaming
Am       Bm	   G*
They are inside my body
 
Am             G
O, let’s trade skins
Am           G       Am            G
I’m rippling in this skin that I’m in
Am                G      Am                G
You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair
Am                    G
And think that it was fair
Am           G      Am            G       G*
I’m rippling in the skin that I’m in
 
 
Am   Bm	   G*                    Am   Bm         G*	
“I’m gonna build you,” she said, “I’m gonna heal you,
Am    Bm         G*           Am   Bm       G*	
I can feel every part of you, that holds it together”
Am             Bm        G*     Am   Bm       G*
And you always looked so happy when you were sleeping
Am           Bm   G
Sleep is the only way sometimes
   Am        Bm      G*
To live in a perfect world
 
 
Am         G     Am        G
It’s party time, quiet and sublime
Am                G        Am       G
Tonight there’s a party, a party of one
Am             G      Am           G
Like a wisp of smoke, solitary and thin
Am                G       Am       G       G*
The heat’s coming off the fires we built
 
Am         Bm       G*
Stars were meant to shoot
Am             Bm       G*
And waves were meant to crash
    Am         Bm      G*          Am       Bm     G*
I’m hypnotized by the flicker, and saddened by the ash
    Am   Bm    G*    Am   Bm          G*
And it’s complicated with desires and dreams
Am   Bm          G*           Am      Bm           G*
With stiches and battle scars pulling apart at the seams
 
Am             G
O, let’s trade skins
Am           G       Am            G
I’m rippling in this skin that I’m in
Am                G      Am                G
You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair
Am                    G
And think that it was fair
Am           G      Am            G
I’m rippling in the skin that I’m in
 
End on G
