[Intro]
G#m G#m F# G#m F#
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
