Intro 

G           D              C 
Everytime I go upstate, I sleep for days 
      F7                      G 
Maybe I just get tired when I feel safe 
Em7                  Am7 
All that's left are ghosts in my hometown 
Am              D#    D7 
They tell me to slow down 
        C         G       C G 
And I sleep for days 

 
Em7        A7          D              C      D     Em7 
There's a hole in the yard where the swings used to be 
A7                   D          C         G 
Everyone I think to call all forgot about me 
        Em7           A7          D7        Em7 
But I step off the train and I'm met with a smile 
       A7        D

G                           C 
Everytime I go upstate, I sleep for days 
      F7                       G 
Maybe I just get tired when I feel safe 
Em7                               Am7 
All that's left are ghosts in my hometown 
                D7 
They tell me to slow down 
       C         G     C  G 
And I sleep for days, oh 
 

 
C      A7        D           C  D      Em7 
Places I would avoid, now I go just to see 
         A7               D7         C       G 
If they feel at all the same as when I was sixteen 
         Em7           A7        D     Em7 
And I'm not scared to walk into you anymore 
          A7         D 
What is left from before? 
 

 
G                            C 
Everytime I go upstate, I sleep for days 
      F7                       G 
Maybe I just get tired when I feel safe 
Em                   Em7           Am7 
All that's left are ghosts in my hometown 
                 D7 
They tell me to slow down 
        C         G    C G 
And I sleep for days, oh 
 

 
      B7             Em7              A7         D7 
Now, who would've thought that I was all that stressed? 
             B7     E7                   A7    D7 
But all my sleep deficit lies in my childhood bed 
       G                    C 
Oh, everytime I go upstate, I
