Fighting A Ghost

C
What do you say
          Am
When your heart's not in it?
F
What do you do
             C        G
When there's no new beginning?
C
How do you start
            Am
When you've forgotten how to finish?
F
Or how to be free again?
C                G
Or what the word even meant?


[Chorus]
C                    Am
Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
      F                      C
Don't let that fire burn out
      G
Whoa oh oh oh
C                    Am
Seven years down and I'm still 
fighting
      F
Still swinging at smoke
      C          G
Still fighting a ghost


[Verse 2]
C                           Am
Why do we chase after these old 
horizons?
Continues after the ad
F
And what's gonna change
         C       G
When you finally find 'em?
C                     Am
Wandering lost in an American 
Wilderness
F
Of checkout magazines
C    G
IMAX movie screens
F
Chain restaurants
C           G
And goddamn coffee shops


[Chorus]
C                    Am
Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
      F                      C
Don't let that fire burn out
      G
Whoa oh oh oh
C                    Am
Seven years down and I'm still 
fighting
      F
Still swinging at smoke
      C          G
Still fighting a ghost


[Bridge]
     Am                  C
I've learned to love the pain
            F
To love the fight
              C
But am I just killing time?
   G              F
Am I only killing time?


[Chorus]
C                    Am
Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
    F                            C
I'm still too young to burn out
      G
Whoa oh oh oh
C                    Am
Seven years down and I'm still 
fighting
      F
Still swinging at smoke
      C
Still chasin' that ghost
      F
Still swingin' at smoke
      C          G
Still fighting a ghost


[Other]
C                          Am
Now I'm not saying that my heart's 
not in it
F                            C
But I could use a new, could use a 
new
  G        C
