[Intro]

G#m D#m B F#


[Verse 1]
G#m
   I drove the highways
      E
of a skeleton coast
G#m
   Salt and sea tapped
E
mysteries into the keys
G#m                      E
   I wrote an opus of distorted
      G#m        E     B
truths   A symphony to crashing
         F#     G#m
waves of victory


[Chorus 1]
G#m E B       F#
       I am a ghostwriter
G#m E   B            F#
     Pretend I am forever young
G#m E B             F#
      I bleed every ribbon dry
E       B      F#     G#m
Waiting for my day to come


[Post Chorus]
G#m G#m F# G#m F#


[Verse 2]
G#m             E
   Tamerlane my poor soul
in a last refrain
G#m                 E
   An endless storm rattles
                B
on my windowpane The Creaking
F#/A#       G#m
floors lost voices of a
E            G#m    F#   E
thousand wars   The fire roars


[Chorus 2]
G#m E B       F#
       I am a ghostwriter
G#m E   B            F#
     Pretend I am forever young
G#m E B             F#
      I bleed every ribbon dry
E       B      F#     G#m G#m D#m
Waiting for my day to come


[Bridge]
B     F#  G#m       F#
  How long   can we sing
         E               B F#
the same old tired songs?
B     F#  G#m             F#
  How long   can we tread water?
    G#m      F#            E     D#m
The shore is only getting smaller


[Chorus 3]
G#m E B       F#
       I am a ghostwriter
G#m E   B            F#
     Pretend I am forever young
G#m E B             F#        E
      I bleed every ribbon dry
B       F#     E
Waiting for my day to come
B       F#     E      G#m F# E
Waiting for my day to come
   G#m F# E
to come
