The Lawrence Arms – Ghost Stories (Guitar)

G#m                    E                   G#m
    Raindrops fell without rage, eyes half closed

                    E        B  F#       E
Skin like dark gray metal, inanimate and cold

G#m                  E
    Another flame to my face

             G#m    F#         E
The smell of sulfur lingering away

B          C#    E                            B
    You're here... for the perforation of the heart

          C#           E
Precise incisions, anesthetic dreams

G#m                    E
    It's broken like a ticking watch, needs repair

G#m                            E
Shattered glass, exposed face, waiting to be wound

G#m F#             E                                    G#m
    Wounded like a friend of mine who eased his pain by killing time

    F#              E
Not letting it kill him

B            C#      E                        B
    When you wake up... you won't remember anything

         C#               E
But that night the ghosts wailed in the wind storm

F#        G#                    E
    Cries sharp like a crescent moon

                F#
A sickle grazed against the skin

   G#                   E
My breath fogged up the window

     B       F#            E
So I let the night breathe in

F#  B  E                        F#
    I... let the ghosts into my room

    G#                E
And listened to their screams

                B
Incessant whisperings

E       F# G#      E
Singing... singing

B        E           G#         F#          B
    Like music to my ears, like music to my ears

     E        G#      F#
Like music to my ears

B              E
    A flash of life like lightning

G#           F#
    Electric blinding blue

B     F#            E
    Reminding me of you
