Against Me! – 500 Years (Guitar)

   Em        G          C
I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh.

   Em        G              C
My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up.

   G                 D                C
Caught in a storm drain and into a gutter.

   G          D         C
I had no memory of who I was.

 G                 C
500 years I was a ghost for you.

 G                 C
500 years I was lost for you.

  Em       D           C
There's nothing left of me,

 C                    G C      G C
I can't move on for 500 years. 500 years.

    Em              G                   C
I followed coquina sidewalks down into the city,

    Em              G                          C
The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me.

    G              D                C
I knew that his black eyes were watching on me.

    G              D                C
I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.

  G                 C
500 years I was a ghost for you.

 G                 C
500 years I was lost for you.

  Em       D           C
There's nothing left of me,

 C                    G C       G C
I can't move on for 500 years. 500 years.

    Em               G
Somewhere in the cemetery,

    C
I know my corpse is rotting.

          Em                G                C
With a cold heart in my chest and not a draw left in my breath

     G              D                   C
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here,

     G              D                    C
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave

 G                 C
500 years I was a ghost for you.

 G                 C
500 years I was lost for you.

  Em       D           C
There's nothing left of me,

 C                    G C      G C
I can't move on for 500 years. 500 years.
