Ghosts

Intro: 

     B 
Ooh-oo-ooh 
     F#m 
Ooh-oo-ooh 
     A 
Ooh-oo-ooh 
     E 
Ooh-oo-ooh 


       B 
I see the distant smoke across the 

Waterway 
       F#m 
I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear 

You say 
        A 
The words that never come when you need 

Them most 
        E 
To dry your eyes out 
        B 
Is it your mother's tongue? Or your 

Father's ghosts? 
    F#m 
Remember sticks and stones and how they 

Broke your bones 
     A 
Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned 

A lot 
     E 
When they hit you in the face, and you 

Begged them all to stop 
       B 
Until you rose up again 
    F#m 
And you tried your best to surrender 
   A 
Bowed down your head 
     E 
Then you looked up to the sky and said 


  B 
"My God, what a beautiful scene 
   F#m 
Now I know what you mean, wanna stay 

Here forever 
A 
God, what a beautiful scene 
   E 
Now I know what you mean, you're my 

Gateway to Heaven" 

( B  F#m  A  E ) 


     B 
From underneath the dust, you see the 

Curtain call 
         F#m 
Can't bare to watch another generation 

Stall 
     A 
To the hands of greed that will take it 

All 
        E 
And cut your heart out 
     B 
See the face in the shadow 
    F#m 
Just a thread in the seams 
      A 
We'll be ghosts by tomorrow 
    E 
Just a day in a dream 
      B 
But you'll rise up again 
      F#m 
And you'll fight against the surrender 
 A 
My friends, don't wait 
   E 
Just look up to the sky and say 


  B

                  A 
Now I know what you mean, wanna stay
