Your Ghost

                  Bm            D 
Wouldn't it be convenient if he 
   A                 Bm D A
just rests in peace?
          Bm           
I saw his cousin crying 
 D         A              Bm     
wondering how you call the cops 
     D      A
on the police
       Bm                D  A     
With a bootprint on your shoulder,
 Bm               D    A
 face down on the street
        Bm      
Another precinct 
            D      A
that's been rotted out
        Bm              D       A
Another song of "I can't breathe"


[Bridge]

        Bm      D A
"I can't breathe"
                 Bm
He said "I can't breathe"


[Verse 2]

          Bm           D    A
Oh what a privilege to hide behind a
 screen
     Bm               D       A  
Like biteless barking dogs we 
        Bm              D  A
yelp on an ever-tightening leash
        Bm        D  A           
Another public execution under a 
Bm              D  A
greedy would be king
        Bm               D A     
Another desperate bloody anthem a
        Bm            D    A
 crying family has to sing


[Bridge]

        Bm      D A
"I can't breathe"
                 Bm
He said "I can't breathe"

[Chorus]
            G                      
I hope your ghost haunts all of our
  D
 dreams
                       D/C#        
I hope you float like smoke over 
           Bm
the blood machine
           G                       
I hope you soak into the wick like 
D
kerosene
                A
I hope it burns clean
A
How long will there be this song of 
"I can't breathe"?


[Bridge]

        Bm      D A
"I can't breathe"
        Bm      D A
"I can't breathe"
        Bm      D A
"I can't breathe"
                 Bm      D A
He said "I can't breathe"
         Bm
"I can't breathe"


[Verse 3]

          Bm           D          
Oh what a privilege to pretend 
  A             Bm D A
that we can't see
    Bm                   D        
The chain, the whip, the badge, 
  A                Bm            
the gun, and now the 
D    A
ever-pressing knee
            Bm       D       A
The knee we hired to protect us
         Bm              D     A
The same knee he used to pray
              Bm                   
The knee that bares the bruise from
 D    A         Bm            D   A
 being used to choke his life away


[Bridge]

                 Bm      D A
He said "I can't breathe"
                 Bm
"Mama I can't breathe"


[Chorus]

            G                      
I hope your ghost haunts all of our
  D
 dreams
                       D/C#        
I hope you float like smoke over 
        Bm
the blood machine
           G                       
I hope you soak into the wick like 
D
kerosene
                A
I hope it burns clean
            G                      
I hope your ghost haunts all of our
  D
 dreams
                       D/C#        
I hope you float like smoke over 
        Bm
the blood machine
                       G           
When they say "make it great again"
                   D
 is this what they mean?
                 A
Then let it burn clean
A                                 
How long will there be this song 
           Bm         D A
of "I can't breathe"?
              Bm  D A
"Mama I can't breathe"
  Bm
I can't
