[Intro]
E B F# (x2)
 
[Verse]
          E      B       F#
All of the lights land on you
                E      B         F#
The rest of the world fades from view
               E      B    D      F#      D       B      F#
And all of the love I see please, please say you feel it too
               E       B     F#
And all of the noise I hear inside
             E        B         F#
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild
                 E       B
And all that you need to say
           D       F#
To make it all go away
            D        B        F#
Is that you feel the same way too
 
[Chorus]
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                C#
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
                                      G#m
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
            B         C#          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth
 
[Verse]
               E           B          F#
And all of the stairs that lead me to you
               E      B           F#
And all of the hell I had to walk through
      E        B                   D         F#
But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say
    D          B         F#
My love I’m in love with you
 
[Chorus]
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                C#
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
                                      G#m
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
            B         C#          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth
 
[Verse]
D#m                D
I know that we’re both afraid
                 F#
We both made the same mistakes
        G#m                          D#m
An open heart is an open wound to you
                     D
And in the wind of a heavy choice
           F#
Love has a quiet voice
          G#m                    B
Still you mind, now I’m yours to choose
 
[Chorus/Outro]
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                         C#
Let my love be the light that guides you home
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                C#
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
                                      G#m
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
            B         C#          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth

Hi, there shouldn't be a G#m in the chorus etc, it should be a G# major chord throughout the song.
