Lighthouse

 
C 
They're turning your house into a 
F 
Parking lot 
                   C 
One more outfitter store that only the 
F 
Tourists want 
                 C 
In the corner of town that just you and 

Time forgot 
                 F 
I sit where your couch was, say 
                      C 
Go ahead and call the cops 
 

 
            C                           F 
Feeding the flightless birds on the pier 
           C 
Hoping you might return to the fog 
             Em  F 
 'Round here 
 

 
Am           C 
But I look out 
F                  G 
At the wreckage of you 
Am                     C 
For as long as there's light 
F                  G 
For as long as you last 
Am              C 
I curse 'em all out 
F                      G 
When they fuck up your story 
Am            C                    Em 
I tell it the way that you told me 

 F  C  Em  F  F 
 

 
C 
You were born with a face made for a 
F 
Missing sign 
                          C 
But you had something misplaced that 
                 F 
You'd spend your life tryna find 
                  C 
I still hear your name from some of the 
Em         F 
Local guys 
                 C 
Said they always placed you for the 
Em           F 
Leaving type 
 

 
Am           C 
But I look out 
F                  G 
At the wreckage of you 
Am                     C 
For as long as there's light 
F                  G 
For as long as you last 
Am              C 
I curse 'em all out 
F                      G 
When they fuck up your story 
Am            C 
I tell it the way that you told me 

Final 
Am              C 
I comb the lighthouse 
F                            G 
And hope you're there in the morning 
Am           C 
Burning your boat 
F             C   Am 
Back to the ocean
