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.

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