[Verse 1]
Am            F            C   G
All hail the siren of our  -  time

Am     F                       C   G
I’m possessed when she passes  -  by

After of all her lies I’m surprised that I still believe

Exactly how I’ve spread my soul

Am   F                C             G

[Bridge]
Em     Bm      C
Do you know yourself?

C                    Em
I heard a voice call out

Em     Bm    C     
We define ourselves

C                               Am
By the things we can’t live without

Am  E               G            D
I deny that I could quit at any time

       F          
But my ghost is a drug

    E
My ghost is a drug

F                
She’s in my blood

      E
And I can’t give her up
[Verse 3]
Am            F            C   G
The clock the altar of our - time

Am            F          C       G
Fought the temple of our - mind

Am        F                   C       G
I’ve been sprinkling blood of most my life

       F           E
On the altar of my ghost machines
[Chorus]
Am           F   C  G
Ain’t she my enemy

Am         F     C    G
My ancient remedy

Am          F       
The gods of all the empty

C                 G
Promises that I believe

    E                   F             Dm
She haunts me with her laughter in my dreams

  E                        Am              Dm  F  E
I swear she’s gonna make a dead man out of me

         Am
My ghost machine
