[Verse]
Gm My grandmother says girls like us are like ghosts F Who nobody sees 'til they're gone Eb Gm You can try to get noticed, but nobody cares D7 D They expect you to fail and move on
[Verse]
Gm I tried to impress with reliableness F C Working weekends to best everyone F But the newspaper's just like the rest of this school Eb D They don't see what I do, only things getting done
[Chorus]
Gm I've always been a ghost writer Bb Slipping through the cracks Eb Overlooked and overskilled D7 Told to just relax Gm A ghost writer Bb Always left behind Eb I'm done with condescending D And pretending I don't mind
[Verse]
Gm My grandmother says I should strike from behind F Cm 'cause no-one will notice before Eb Bb Eb There's no honor in trying to battle them all D Those who live through the day win the war
[Verse]
Gm I can't let them know that I'm not giving up F Cm F And ambition won't leave me alone Eb They've ignored me so long, why not let it go on D7 Prove I'm not unskilled, just unknown
[Chorus]
Gm When you're a ghost writer Bb No-one knows your name Eb But they won't try to cheat you D7 If you aren't playing their game Gm You stay a ghost writer Bb Lonely but secure Eb Relying on your lies is what D You must do to be sure
[Bridge]
Gm Going here I have the power Bb To lift up the girls unseen Eb No more hiding from the headlines D Nothing's coming in between Gm No one needs to know my name before Bb The good I'm gonna do Eb I won't let their deaths be pointless
N.C.
There's more good I'm gonna do
Eb Would I win this if I didn't? D D7 Would I prove my worth to you?
[Verse]

They were children, too, how could they deserve what they got?
D
(spoken) You want to change the world, Bea?N.C
Now's your fucking shot!
[Verse]
G5 Gm My grandmother says you can lose half your soul Dm Cm Bb Pleasing everyone all of the time Eb We know each winner has trampled their classmates D We'll publicize every crime Gm Bb We can challenge injustice right here in this school Eb Make the admin all see what they've done
N.C.
We're meant to be separate and fight with each other
D Dm 'cause they can't have us fighting as one
[Chorus]
Gm Been a ghost writer Bb Letting life run by Eb But I need to stop this game now D Or at least I have to try Gm Been a ghost writer Bb But no one else should be! Cm No more hiding, I'm deciding D Ebmaj7 I'm the one they'll have to see D Gm The one they'll have to see…
