C           Am        F
If you really want to conjure up a ghost
C           Am             F                      G
Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most


Am   C              F
Rake the sands until they surface
Em   C       F
Bind their tiny eyes


C           Am        F
Stake out your position, let your armor fall
C           Am             F                        G
Stay put til they find you, it won't take long at all


Am   C              F
Rake the sands until they surface
Em        C           F
Up they come, gone translucent


C        Am                  F
They're coming up no matter what
Am           Em          C   G   F
Fools rush in and the doors slam shut


C           Am        F
Ghosts of my childhood stay with me, if you will
C           Am             F                                 G
Find a place where there's water, hold you under til you're still


Am         C                     F
Rake the sands until they surface
Em      C                        F
Don't let anybody call them ugly
