Verse 



C 
You tried your best to bury in the ground 
C 
A place, a face, a very small town 
C 
The walls you built are crumbling down 
C 
Haunted by the shadows all around 


Pre-Chorus 

 

    Am           F        C 
And yeah, it was forever ago 
    Am             F                   C 
The scars are more painful than you'll know 



                   Dm         Am               F             C 
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father 
        Dm           Am                 F             C 
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water 


Verse 



C 
You feel like you can never get it right 
C 
Sticks and stones have given up the fight 
C 
Cause words cut sharper than a knife 
C 
And losses become larger than life 


Pre-Chorus 

 

    Am           F        C 
And yeah, it was forever ago 
    Am         F                    C 
The closer sometimes just wont stay closed 




                   Dm         Am               F             C 
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father 
        Dm           Am                 F             C 
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water 
          Dm          Am               F             C 
If you're lost in the dark then you're only treading water 
       Dm       Am               F             C 
Release to the wind, spread the ashes of your father

           Release me

And yeah, it was forever ago 
        Am         F           C 
But the past has a deadly undertow 

 

                 Dm         Am               F             C 
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father

Release to the wind, spread the ashes of your father
