Ghost

Dm
How are we such strangers now?
A
Broken  history so far down
Bb                                      C
Do  you recognize all the ways that I’ve tried to make you proud?
Dm
Can you see me through the lies?
  A
A final oath between our lives
Bb                              C
Golden  ichor running from the wound I carved across your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

Bb
If  I forsake morning light
A
Will you promise not to die?


[Chorus]

Dm
The  ghost of who you thought I was
Bb                 C                  Dm
Lost itself free-falling under the sun
Dm
I wear too many names
Bb                 C                     Dm
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Dm
Take  what’s left of me
Bb                      C
There’s only so much a traitor can be
Dm
Please, lend me your strength
Bb                              C
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest


[Verse]

Dm
Arrows forged in blood and fire
A
One true confession from a liar
Bb                                C
Tear me open, watch me bleed as heaven’s flames ignite my pyre

Dm
Handprint bruises on my skin
A
Of who I was and where I’ve been
Bb                        C
Bury me under the name of my rebirth before my sins

[Pre-Chorus]

Bb
If I learn to speak at last
A
Can you forgive my bloody past?

[Chorus]

Dm
The  ghost of who you thought I was
Bb                 C                  Dm
Lost itself free-falling under the sun
Dm
I wear too many names
Bb                 C                     Dm
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Dm
Take  what’s left of me
Bb                      C
There’s only so much a traitor can be
Dm
Please, lend me your strength
Bb                              C
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest


[Bridge]

Bb
Bloodstained promise save me now
C                                Dm      Am
Just another path for me to fall down, down
Bb
I can’t be the person you deserve
C                                    Dm   Am
I keep on fighting even though it hurts. Ooh

Bb              C
Your light, so divine
I can’t close my eyes


[Chorus]

Dm
The  ghost of who you thought I was
Bb
Lost itself

Dm
The  ghost of who you thought I was
Bb                 C                 Dm
Lost itself free-falling under the sun
Dm
I wear too many names
Bb                 C                    Dm
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Dm
Take  what’s left of me
Bb                      C
There’s only so much a traitor can be
Dm
Please, lend me your strength
Bb                              C
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest
