[Verse 1]
E
Eighteen and a wicker basket
E
Red cape and an open casket
E
Tied up to a broken lever
E
If I move, it hurts forever
A
I am not that host
      E
But I want her
E
Wolf in a winter playground
E
White snow to let the red out
E
I hear that alarms are better
E
Than a warning, like a feather
A
I don't like my tone
      E
But I want her

[Chorus]
   C#m    A
So here I am
    E                B
I'm falling to my knees
                    A             E5/A
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
               E
When you come around
   C#m    A
So here I am
    E                 B
I'm waiting for the tease
                     A               E5/A
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
               E
When you come around

[Verse 2]
E
Why sleep I can't forget it
E
Moonrise I'm now committed
E
Your move 'cause I am tethered
E
Like a slave, I don't know better
A
I listen for your words
       E
Yeah I want her
E
Lost boys in a haunted forest
E
Bright things in the maze before us
E
My life has now been severed
                         A
I can't bare to remember who I was before
          E
The day I met her

[Chorus]
   C#m    A
So here I am
    E                B
I'm falling to my knees
                    A             E5/A
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
               E
When you come around
   C#m    A
So here I am
    E                 B
I'm waiting for the tease
                     A               E5/A
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
               E
When you come around

I'm waiting for the tease
                     A               E5/A
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
               E
When you come around
