Shipboard Cook

F                   Am           
I wanna go to the ocean and send 
       C
a postcard of my loneliness
F                      Am
Forgetting you is so elusive
C
I run away but it's always this
G
You're the only one
F
I love
C                          G
It's always been you
F                                 
And I wish I was conscripted in 
     Am
the Merchant Marines
 C                                 
Shanghaied into service of sails 
                      G            
and machines, just to stay alive
      F

 F                                 
And my sister keeps it simple she's
 Am
 a shipboard cook
 C                              
She can drive a line, but if you 
                           G    
take a look, she's kinda worried 
               F
though

[Chorus]
Am
'Cause I keep hoping you will find 
me
C
I keep hoping you will find me
Am
Hoping you will find me
C                                
I keep hoping you will find me
G  F

C
I'm always a ghost

[Verse 2]
F                                 
I tried your gypsy table ramblings
     Am
 and your seance stunt
C
I keep an open mind but I think it's
 just a front
 G                        F
Want to believe it though
F                              
My sister says: 'Forget her boy, 
         Am
that's all that you need'
 C                                 
Pitching magical elixirs and 
                        G
bottles full of mead for a broken 
heart

 F
It's too late for that

[Bridge]
 C
So light em up boys here's to your 
youth
 G                                F
Sing loud enough to tell the truth
C
I lost myself and that's where I 
lost you
 G                              F
Ohh oh oh, let go of that whipping 
post
 C
I'm always a ghost

[Verse 3]
Am
You're about as haunted as a 
darkened basement
C
I've got all the chances of a dog in
 a settlement
E
I live by her secrets, she'll never 
tell
G                                 
I ride along without 'em on a deep
     F
 sea swell
 Am
I heard there's someone new, and she
 starts to talk
C
She's the merry widow on the widow's
 walk
 E
And the fear is I'm the one no 
matter where you are
 G                          F
In this twisted, fucked up film noir

[Chorus]
Am
And I'm hoping you will find me
 C
I keep hoping you will find me
 Am
Hoping you will find me
C
I keep hoping you will find me
 G
Yeah yeah
C
So light em up boys here's to your 
youth
 G                             F
Sing loud enough to tell the truth
C
I lost myself and that's where I 
lost you
 G                                
Ohh oh oh, let go of that whipping 
F
post

[Post-chorus]
F               C
I'm always a ghost
 G             F
I'm always a ghost
 G             C
I'm always a ghost
G               F
I'm always a ghost

I'm always a ghost
