Grapefruit

• C

Hey guys, this is my first ever post on here, so hopefully it turns out right. This is my favorite song on this
album so hopefully I got it right. I'm about 99% sure this version is correct, though there may be a few spots 
missing a chord.

No capo, E-standard tuning
C: x32010
Csus2: x30010
F: 133211
G: 320033
Am: x02210
G*: 355433
Am*: 577555

One note, the Csus2 is usually a very quick switch from the chord. (Meaning, you only play the
chord once before switching back to C) Just listen to the song and you'll see what I mean.

I recommend listening to the song when learning it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IY_BjQQhx4)

Intro: C Csus2 C F (x2) 

               C Csus2 C F                                  C Csus2 C
Hey, Holy Ghost           why'd you leave me? Where'd you go?
F                        G*                      Am*  G*      F   
I know we ain't spoke in so long, but I've gotta know, if I'm alone.
          C        Csus2 C  F                            C Csus2 C
If I start drinking,         I'm gonna be the town drunk.
F                                  G*
 You always said I should lighten up,
                  Am* G                  F G* Am* C
I'm gonna lighten up. I'm gonna lighten up. 

F            C                              
So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you want.
G                          Am
If I can't make you happy, I'm no good for anyone.
F            C
So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you want.
G                  Am
If I cant make you love me..

              C Csus2 C
I shut you out,
F                                C Csus2 C
after the funeral, mired in doubt.
F                            G*
You thought a family would help.
            Am* G*              F
I was struggling. You could tell.
                  C Csus2 C
When we got the news,
F
That you were pregnant,
                 C Csus2 C
We painted a room,
F                           G*
Pink and orange like a grapefruit.
              Am* G*              F
I know how bad you wanted this too.
                G*    Csus2
I know it killed you.

Am               G                 F                 C    
In all my dreams, I'm in the house that I grew up in.
Am              G            F               C
I'm trying to be half the man I know my dad is, or was.
Am              G                          F
I see me as a father looking over a daughter,
                    C  
Who grew up to be just like you
Am                     G                     F
And now, that's just a thread I can't hold onto.
             C 
It's just an open wound.

F               C                             G
So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you want.
                     Am                             
If I can't make you happy, I'm no good for anyone.
F               C                              G
So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you want.
                      Am
If I cant make you love me..

              C Csus2 C F
Hey, Holy Ghost,
                                  C Csus2 C F
Why'd you leave me? Where'd you go?
                          G* 
Right when I fucking need you,
           Am* G*            F
I'm all alone.   I'm all alone.

                    C Csus2 C
So, I'll start drinking.
F                          C Csus2 C
Yeah, I'll be the town drunk.
F                           G*
I'll be a burden on everyone.
           Am* G*
On everyone.
           F G* Am* (Stop on Am*)
On everyone.
